Abstract
The theory of special functions is a branch of mathematics whose roots penetrate deeply into analysis, the theory of functions of a complex variable, the theory of group representations, and theoretical and mathematical physics. Thanks to these connections, special functions have a wide domain of applicability. In the present chapter we discuss a number of examples of the application of special functions to the solution of some significant problems in mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, and numerical analysis.
