Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

We will focus on the basics of the theory of Special Functions. In particular, the following topics shall be covered: gamma function, beta function, hypergeometric functions, (special) orthogonal polynomials, and (as time permits) q-series, theta functions, and elliptic functions.
Further information will be made available at http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~schlosse/courses/SF/SF.html

Assessment and permitted materials

Participation and active cooperation (especially at the discussions) are requested. Homework will be sporadically checked. In the second half of the course each student shall give a short 15-20 minutes presentation (with his or her own prepared slides) on a Special Functions theme that has been agreed on with the instructor (such as a section of the book which was not covered in the course).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Regular and punctual participation is obligatory. The quality of the individual student's active participation, presented solutions of homework problems, and of the short presentation, will be assessed.

Examination topics

Selected sections from the course text book.
