Hi, 22nd Oct, 2004

I am not an expert in HyperGeometric Series and Functions [from now
on, I use the short form "HG" below.]

Along with other basic Maths books, I have been trying to learn this
subject also by reading the famous book : A Course of Modern Analysis
(Cambridge Mathematical Library), by E. T. Whittaker, G. N. Watson.
[from now on, I call it the "W & W book" below.]
Also, I realised that many of Srinivasa Ramanujan's works relate to HG
Fns and Series, as can also be seen in the 5-Part book authored by
Bruce C Berndt.

At many places, I have been able to follow the derivation of complex
expressions of the W & W book, but often with slightly different
expressions like say, an extra snippet of expression, a change of sign
etc. And even the so-called (simple, but very appropriate to the
subject at that point) Examples are sometimes difficult to answer.

I would therefore like to know if there is a Solutions Manual to this
book so that it is easier to learn and a little faster too - something
similar to Donald Knuth's books with Solutions on "The Art of Computer
Programming".

My brief background :
After working for many years in a number of companies like ABB, HP,
Motorola, I have now taken up some studies in Video Compression, Error
Correction Codes, DSP and Maths - Elliptical Integrals,
HyperGeometric Series etc.
So, I am neither a student nor a Professor, but very much keen on the
above subjects.

Thanks in advance.
