Generalized hypergeometric functions : transformations and group theoretical aspects /

In 1813, Gauss first outlined his studies of the hypergeometric series which has been of great significance in the mathematical modelling of physical phenomena. This detailed monograph outlines the fundamental relationships between the hypergeometric function and special functions. In nine comprehen...
