'Whittaker and Watson has entered and held the field as the standard book of reference in English on the applications of analysis to the transcendental functions. This end has been successfully achieved by following the sensible course of explaining the methods of modern analysis in the first part of the book and then proceeding to a detailed discussion of the transcendental function, unhampered by the necessity of continually proving new theorems for special applications. In this way the authors have succeeded in being rigorous without imposing on the reader the mass of detail which so often tends to make a rigorous demonstration tedious.' Nature
'A wealth of mathematical ideas with a touch of old times make this book a pleasure to read.' European Mathematical Society

Edmund Taylor Whittaker (1873-1956) studied mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge. He became Professor of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh in 1911 and taught there for the rest of his career, specializing in applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and special functions.
George Neale Watson (1886-1965) also studied at Trinity College, Cambridge. From 1914 to 1918 he was a lecturer at University College, London, and in 1918 became Professor of Mathematics at the University of Birmingham.
