Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-01 00:00:00 Crystal Cline As far as I remember this book was required reading for the "Special Functions" course. You could argue that this is not a pure Physics book. However, it is certainly not a pure Mathematics book, since the examples are related to Physics problems: Vector Analysis Group Theory Infinite Series Complex Algebra Special Functions I think that this is an awesome book. Sometimes I just read it for fun. Seriously. I can't understand, how people can be so negative about it. Probably they were forced to go through the material at high speed without much help from their professors. I admit that this is not a good approach, especially given the size of the book.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-10-01 00:00:00 Jonathn Poirier Perhaps this is a good reference book, but for learning the material for the first time, I found it subpar. P.S. Why does this site think that "subpar" is a misspelling? The online dictionaries are pretty sure it's all one word "subpar" rather than "sub-par". I expect better of a site that claims be all up in literariness.
