gives the radial Zernike polynomial
.
MORE INFORMATION
Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
Explicit polynomials are given when possible.
The Zernike polynomials are orthogonal with weight
over the unit interval.
ZernikeR
can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
ZernikeR
automatically threads over lists.
