Welcome to the home page of Nico Temme

Welcome to my home page. On this page you can find information about:

• My research activities.
• The book Special Functions, An Introduction to the Classical Functions of Mathematical Physics.
• The book Numerical Methods for Special Functions written with Amparo Gil and Javier Segura. See SIAM.
• For the conference in Santander, Spain, on the occasion of my 65th birthday, see Special Functions: Asymptotic Analysis and Computation.
• For pdf files of almost all of my publications, see Digital Academic Repositories , and make a search.
• For a complete list of publications, see List of Publications.

RESEARCH and ACTIVITIES

• Asymptotic expansions.
  In particular asymptotic methods for integrals and uniform expansions, with applications to special functions, orthogonal polynomials and problems from physics.
• Computation of special functions.
  Algorithms based on recursion relations, asymptotic expansions and other series representations, and numerical quadrature.
• Several topics from applied analysis.
• NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions, the revision of the Handbook of Mathematical Functions (Abramowitz and Stegun, eds.).
  The Handbook was first published by the National Bureau of Standards in 1964, last corrected in 1972, and still in print. See NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions for information. To be published by Cambridge University Press, March 2010.
• Algorithmic Methods for Special Functions by Computer Algebra.
  This postdoc project was sponsored by NWO, coordinated by Tom Koornwinder (KdV Institute, Universiteit van Amsterdam) and Nico Temme (CWI, Amsterdam), and performed by Raimundas Vidunas. See Algorithmic Methods for Special Functions by Computer Algebra.
