Borel's methods of summability--transformations of one series of numbers to another--are fundamental to a whole class of sequences to function methods. Conceived at the beginning of the 20th century, they have been increasingly applied to exciting new problems in theoretical physics. Comprehensive and rigorous, this book offers an outstanding overview of the subject. It will be sought after by students and researchers in number theory.
