Special Functions

Topic
Overview  »

Two decades of intense R&D at Wolfram Research have given the Wolfram Language by far the world's broadest and deepest coverage of special functionsand greatly expanded the whole domain of practical closed-form solutions. Often using original results and methods, all special functions in the Wolfram Language support arbitrary-precision evaluation for all complex values of parameters, arbitrary series expansion even at branch points, and an immense web of exact relations, transformations, and simplifications.
