Know about the book -

Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions is written by Erik Koelink and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3540449450 (ISBN 10) and 9783540449454 (ISBN 13).

The set of lectures from the Summer School held in Leuven in 2002 provide an up-to-date account of recent developments in orthogonal polynomials and special functions, in particular for algorithms for computer algebra packages, 3nj-symbols in representation theory of Lie groups, enumeration, multivariable special functions and Dunkl operators, asymptotics via the Riemann-Hilbert method, exponential asymptotics and the Stokes phenomenon. Thenbsp;volume aims at graduate students and post-docs working in the field of orthogonal polynomials and special functions, and in related fields interacting with orthogonal polynomials, such as combinatorics, computer algebra, asymptotics, representation theory, harmonic analysis, differential equations, physics. The lectures are self-contained requiring onlynbsp;a basic knowledge of analysis and algebra, and each includes many exercises.
