From the preface:
This book is primarily intended for students and practicing scientists or engineers faced with the problem of evaluating integrals beyond those treated in elementary textbooks or listed in the standard tables. It should also be useful to teachers.
It should also be useful to teachers. Although a search of the library will turn up a number of advanced works dealing with the fundamental theory of the integral, these are of little help in evaluating specific integrals.
Actually, for this aspect of the subject, the older problem-oriented advanced calculus texts are generally superior to their modern counterparts. The general neglect of Liouville's work on integration in finite terms is difficult to explain. Apparently no American nor European calculus text makes more than a brief reference to it, though there are two excellent presentations (Hardy and Ritt)
