From the reviews:

"It is a collection of papers that grew out of a summer school course on integration, summation, and special functions in quantum field theory ... . if you are interested in these sorts of special functions, and the computer algebra tools to manipulate them, whether or not your particular application is quantum field theory, then this book is an excellent description of the state of the art in computer algebra manipulation and proof."
