AiryBiZero

AiryBiZero[k]
represents the k^(th) zero of the Airy function Bi(x).
AiryBiZero[k, x0]
represents the k^(th) zero less than x0.
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • N[AiryBiZero[k]] gives a numerical approximation so long as the specified zero exists.
  • AiryBiZero can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
