I wonder if you can recommend a good book treating "Spherical Harmonics" in some details.
Thanks for help

Spherical harmonics are a set of mathematical functions that are used to describe the spatial variation of a physical quantity on the surface of a sphere. They are widely used in various fields of science, including physics, mathematics, and engineering.
Studying spherical harmonics can greatly enhance your understanding of various physical phenomena, such as electromagnetic fields, quantum mechanics, and fluid dynamics. It is also a useful tool for solving complex mathematical problems and has numerous applications in different fields.
Some highly recommended books for learning about spherical harmonics include "Introduction to Spherical Harmonics" by Paul S. Wesson, "Spherical Harmonics: An Elementary Treatise on Harmonic Functions" by William Edmund Story, and "Spherical Harmonic Analysis" by John P. Boyd.
Yes, there are several beginner-friendly books on spherical harmonics, such as "Spherical Harmonics in Mathematical Geophysics" by Johan O. Grann and "Spherical Harmonics and Tensors for Classical Field Theory" by Philip J. Mann.
Yes, spherical harmonics have a wide range of applications in research and various industries, such as geophysics, astronomy, and computer graphics. They can be used to model and analyze spherical data, and provide solutions to complex problems in these fields.
