Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This is an erudite and competent book of great value, not only to specialists in the field. It should be very useful for both advanced students and active researchers in the field of geomathematics, geophysics, and geoengineering, and also for geooriented applied mathematicians. The style is superb and clear, and the organization is very well planned. I believe this excellent book should be required reading for all earth-oriented scientists.” (Andrzej Icha, Pure and Applied Geophysics, Vol. 172, 2015)
“This book provides an accessible and modern approach to special functions and applications to geomathematics, applied mathematics, environmental and engineering sciences. … this will create new interest and useful leads for those engaged in the advanced study and research in special functions and their applications. … book will continue to be very useful as a graduate level text and an interdisciplinary research reference for professionals in applied mathematics, geomathematics and harmonic analysis. … this book is a new and excellent addition to the mathematics literature.” (L. Debnath, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2013)
