A good understanding of special functions provides the capacity to recognize the causality between the abstractness of the mathematical concept and both the impact on and cross-sectional importance to the scientific reality. The special functions to be discussed in this monograph vary greatly, depending on the measurement parameters examined (gravitation, electric and magnetic fields, deformation, climate observables, fluid flow, etc.) and on the respective field characteristic (potential field, diffusion field, wave field). The differential equation under consideration determines the type of special functions that are needed in the desired reduction process. Each chapter closes with exercises that reflect significant topics, mostly in computational applications. As a result, readers are not only directly confronted with the specific contents of each chapter, but also with additional knowledge on mathematical fields of research, where special functions are essential to application. All in all, the book is an equally valuable resource for education in geomathematics and the study of applied and harmonic analysis. Students who wish to continue with further studies should consult the literature given as supplements for each topic covered in the exercises. 410 0$aApplied and numerical harmonic analysis. 606 $aGeodynamics$xMathematics 606 $aFunctions, Special 615 0$aGeodynamics$xMathematics. 615 0$aFunctions, Special. 676 $a516.83 676 $a550.151 700 $aFreeden$b W$0516143 701 $aGutting$b Martin$01755300 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438146203321 996 $aSpecial functions of mathematical (geo-)physics$94192032 997 $aUNINA
