My copy of Sadiku's "Numerical Techniques in Electromagnetics" is sitting on my desk because I was looking something up the other day. (No, I am not making this up to look smart. The other books on my desk are also physics texts.) The fifth sentence is:
The Legendre functions of the second kind are given by
where p(k) is defined in Eq. (2.100).
Which, of course, is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.
Too bad I didn't have an interesting book handy. Those happen to be in my room rather than on my desk.
Coincidentally, my husband just got me into reading Stephen Baxter. I started with reading Coalescent. It's a very good book, but the premise that humans could evolve into what he describes makes my skin crawl. I've now started Exultant.
