  12. If all you need is a reference on special functions, try Abramowitz and
  13. Stegun, "Handbook of Mathematical Functions", published originally by the
  14. National Bureau of Standards and available in paperback from Dover. No
  15. exercises, but if you ever need a numerical value, look here.
  16.  
  17. Jackson, "Classical Electrodynamics", is a good reference for Legendre
  18. polynomials, spherical harmonics, and Bessel functions of integer order.
