    5: Errata
  • Subsection 17.9(iii)

    The title of the paragraph which was previously “Gasper’s q -Analog of Clausen’s Formula” has been changed to “Gasper’s q -Analog of Clausen’s Formula (16.12.2)”.

  • Paragraph Inversion Formula (in §35.2)

    The wording was changed to make the integration variable more apparent.

  • Usability

    Additional keywords are being added to formulas (an ongoing project); these are visible in the associated ‘info boxes’ linked to the [Uncaptioned image] icons to the right of each formula, and provide better search capabilities.

  • Subsections 15.4(i), 15.4(ii)

    Sentences were added specifying that some equations in these subsections require special care under certain circumstances. Also, (15.4.6) was expanded by adding the formula F ( a , b ; a ; z ) = ( 1 z ) b .
