E T Whittaker was an early 20th century Mathematician.  He is credited with pioneering research in special functions.  Whittaker was a member of the Royal Society.  He was professor of Astronomy at the University of Dublin and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh.   A Course of Modern Analysis was the first book in English to present the theory of functions of a complex variable at an undergraduate level. This book was instrumental in the study of such functions and their expansions as well as the study of special functions and their related differential equations.

Excerpt from A Course of Modern Analysis: An Introduction to the General Theory of Infinite Series and of Analytic Functions; With an Account of the Principal Transcendental Functions The first half of this book contains an account of those methods and processes of higher mathematical analysis, which seem to be of greatest importance at the present time; as will be seen by a glance at the table of contents, it is chie&#64258;y concerned with the properties of infinite series and complex integrals, and their applications to the analytical expression of functions. A discussion of infinite determinants and of asymptotic expansions has been included, as it seemed to be called for by the value of.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Analytical Dynamics of Particles and Rigid Bodies: With an Introduction to the Problem of Three BodiesIn revising this book for a second edition, I have endeavoured to give references to, and in some cases accounts of, the numerous original researches in Dynamics which have been published by various investigators since the first edition appeared. I have moreover added some historical matter, and rewritten many sections. It is not necessary to specify these in detail, but perhaps I may mention that the new explanation of the transformation-theory of Dynamics in 125 sprang from a desire to do justice to the earliest great work of Hamilton's genius: that the changes in 69 (the motion of a body about a fixed point under no forces) arose from my opinion that the Jacobian functions are preferable to the Weierstrassian in the numerical computations: and that I should have liked to give a fuller proof of Sundman's theorem (181), but thought it better to give only such an account as might impel the reader to consult Mr Sundman's own accessible and readable memoir.I wish again to record my obligations to the staff of the Cambridge University Press.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
