TL;DR: The volume now gives a somewhat exhaustive account of the various ramifications of the subject, which are set out in an attractive manner and should become indispensable, not only as a textbook for advanced students, but as a work of reference to those whose aim is to extend the knowledge of analysis.

Abstract: This classic work has been a unique resource for thousands of mathematicians, scientists and engineers since its first appearance in 1902 Never out of print, its continuing value lies in its thorough and exhaustive treatment of special functions of mathematical physics and the analysis of differential equations from which they emerge The book also is of historical value as it was the first book in English to introduce the then modern methods of complex analysis This fifth edition preserves the style and content of the original, but it has been supplemented with more recent results and references where appropriate All the formulas have been checked and many corrections made A complete bibliographical search has been conducted to present the references in modern form for ease of use A new foreword by Professor SJ Patterson sketches the circumstances of the book's genesis and explains the reasons for its longevity A welcome addition to any mathematician's bookshelf, this will allow a whole new generation to experience the beauty contained in this text

Propagation of Sound Waves through a Linear Shear Layer
TL;DR: In this article, closed-form solutions for sound propagation from a line source in or near a shear layer are presented for all frequencies and are developed assuming a linear velocity profile in the shear layers.

Classical irregular block, N=2 pure gauge theory and Mathieu equation
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the classical irregular block can be recovered from classical blocks on the torus and sphere in suitably defined decoupling limits of classical external conformal weights.
A general starting solution for melting and solidifying slabs
TL;DR: In this paper, general starting and short-time solutions for melting or solidifying slabs are developed by means of the "embedding technique" in which a body with time-dependent boundaries is considered mathematically as part of an embedding body of fixed geometry.

On hypergraphs with every four points spanning at most two triples
TL;DR: This paper improves previous bounds of de Caen and Matthias on a triple system on an n element set by finding a set of four points containing at least three triples of F.
