AiryAi

AiryAi[z]
gives the Airy function Ai(z).
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • The Airy function Ai(z) is a solution to the differential equation y^('')-xy=0.
  • Ai(z) tends to zero as z→infty.
  • AiryAi[z] is an entire function of z with no branch cut discontinuities.
  • For certain special arguments, AiryAi automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • AiryAi can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
  • AiryAi automatically threads over lists.
