Analysis What’s a good book on transcendental functions?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding resources for hyperbolic functions and other transcendental functions beyond trigonometric functions. A notable recommendation is the three-volume set "Higher Transcendental Functions" by Erdelyi, which is recognized for its comprehensive coverage, although it is not classified as a textbook. Participants express interest in locating additional English-translated materials on hyperbolic functions, indicating a gap in accessible literature on this topic.

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.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
