Description: This clear, concise introduction is based on the premise that "anything worth doing is worth doing with interesting examples." Content is driven by techniques and examples rather than by definitions and theorems.

Examples, many of which are treated at a level of detail unmatched in similar introductory texts, are chosen from the analytic theory of numbers and classical special functions, but while they are mostly geared towards number theory and mathematical physics, the techniques are generally applicable. This self-contained, rather unique monograph is an excellent resource for self-study and should appeal to a broad audience. Prerequisites are a standard calculus course.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [221]-225) and index.
