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.
 
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
