Ramanujan's lost notebook. I (Q3023367)

This book is the first of 4 projected volumes elucidating (in the legendary Berndt manner of his previous 5 Springer volumes comprising ``Ramanujan's Notebooks'') the list of formulas contained in the 138 page manuscript encountered by George Andrews in Trinity College Library, Cambridge, in 1976. This manuscript is called the Lost Notebook of Ramanujan. The Introduction traces the history of the Lost Notebook, notes that the most famous objects studied therein are the mock theta functions, and describes the contents and organization of the current volume Here is the substantive portion of the Table of contents: The Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction and Its modular properties; Explicit evaluations of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction; A fragment on the Rogers-Ramanujan and cubic continued fractions; The Rogers-Ramanujan continued craction and its connections with partitions and Lambert series; Finite Rogers-Ramanujan continued fractions; Other \(q\)-continued fractions; Asymptotic formulas for continued fractions; Ramanujan's continued fraction for \((q^2; q^3)_8/(q; q^3)_8\); The Rogers-Fine identity; An empirical study of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities; Rogers-Ramanujan-Slater type identities; Partial fractions; Hadamard products for two \(q\)-series; Integrals of theta-functions; Incomplete elliptic Integrals; Infinite integrals of \(q\)-products; Modular equations in Ramanujan's Lost Notebook; Fragments on Lambert series; Location guide; Provenance; References; Index.
