A Course of Modern Analysis

E. T. Whittaker was Professor of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. He was awarded the Copley Medal in 1954, 'for his distinguished contributions to both pure and applied mathematics and to theoretical physics'. G. N. Watson was Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Birmingham. He is known, amongst other things, for the 1918 result now known as Watson's lemma and was awarded the De Morgan Medal in 1947. Victor H. Moll is Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Tulane University. He co-authored Elliptic Curves (Cambridge, 1997) and was awarded the Weiss Presidential Award in 2017 for his Graduate Teaching. He first received a copy of Whittaker and Watson during his own undergraduate studies at the Universidad Santa Maria in Chile.
