Description:
"Ramanujan's lost notebook" contains considerable material on mock theta functions and so undoubtedly emanates from the last year of Ramanujan's life. It should be emphasized that the material on mock theta functions is perhaps Ramanujan's deepest work.

The material is arranged thematically with the main topics being some of Ramanujan's favorites q series theta functions ... . the authors treatment is extremely thorough. Each chapter contains an introduction with appropriate background. References to all other known proofs of the entries are provided. ... Fans of Ramanujan's mathematics are sure to be delighted by this book. ... Many entries are just begging for further study and will undoubtedly be inspiring research for decades to come."
