What’s a good book on transcendental functions?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding quality resources for studying transcendental functions, specifically hyperbolic functions. A notable recommendation is the three-volume set "Higher Transcendental Functions" by Arthur Erdelyi, which is recognized as a comprehensive reference but is not structured as a traditional textbook. Participants express interest in additional resources that cover hyperbolic and other transcendental functions beyond trigonometric functions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic calculus concepts
  • Familiarity with hyperbolic functions
  • Knowledge of transcendental functions
  • Ability to read mathematical texts in English
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Higher Transcendental Functions" by Arthur Erdelyi for in-depth study
  • Explore additional literature on hyperbolic functions
  • Investigate online courses covering transcendental functions
  • Look for translated resources on hyperbolic functions from German to English
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students of advanced calculus, and educators seeking comprehensive resources on transcendental functions, particularly hyperbolic functions.

I found one ages ago about the hyperbolic functions, but it hadn’t been translated to English from German yet. Anyone know of a good book on hyperbolic functions and other transcendental functions besides the circular functions (trigonometric)?

The most comprehensive reference is the three volume set
Erdelyi, Higher Transcendental Functions
It’s not a textbook, however.
