Analysis of special functions

The book Análisis de Funciones Especiales proposes an ambitious goal: to explain the functionality of special mathematical functions. In other words, it aims to describe in simple and concrete terms what these functions are used for. The first question that arises is: what is considered a special mathematical function? The answer seems straightforward: special functions are those that model a reality in a symbolic format to replicate that reality. By reading Méndez Martínez's work, students will find answers to their questions, mathematics teachers will have the support of an appropriate methodology and language for their work, and researchers will have access to a proposal that establishes a path and suggests a course of action.
