Synopsis:

A classic reference, intended for graduate students, mathematicians, physicists, and engineers, this book can be used both as the basis for instructional courses and as a reference tool.

Review:

The book under review is a very good reference on this material, giving a detailed collection of various asymptotic results, with a special focus on special functions. ... The book is a classic, and it seems to be essentially a research text, but it has the structure to be also used as a textbook. Indeed, each section includes good and challenging exercises, some of which are the key and starting point for further research. ... This impressive book contains more than what appears in its table of contents; the reader will find much that is very nice and useful inside it. I recommend it strongly for students and professors of mathematics, physics and engineering who are concerned with careful analysis of asymptotics and special functions.
