A treatise on the theory of Bessel functions

The late Professor G.N. Watson wrote his monumental treatise on the theory of Bessel functions with two objects in view. The first was the development of applications of the fundamental processes of the theory of complex variables, and the second the compilation of a collection of results of value to mathematicians and physicists who encounter Bessel functions in the course of their researches. The completeness of the theoretical account, combined with the wide scope of the collection of practical examples and the extensive numerical tables, have resulted in a book which is indispensable to pure mathematicians, to applied mathematicians, and to physicists alike.

First sentence: The theory of Bessel functions is intimately connected with the theory of a certain type of differential equation of the first order, known as Riccati's equation.
