Ai_bi
Airy functions of the first and second kinds.
 
Loading        LOADSUB ALL FROM "AIRY.HTS"
or LOADSUB FROM "MATHLIB.HTS"
 
Usage                REAL X
COMPLEX C
C=FNAi_bi(X)
 
Description                
FNAi_bi returns the values of the Airy functions of the first and second kinds of the real value x. The real part of the return value C is the value of Ai(x) and the imaginary part of C is the value of Bi(x). Although it is defined for all real values of x, this function is usually used with negative values of x, since the Airy functions of the first and second kinds behave somewhat like damped cosine and sine functions in this region.
 
Errors                
FNAi_bi causes an HTBasic error if its first argument is not of type COMPLEX or its second argument is not of type REAL. It also causes an error if the value of the imaginary component of the value returned (Bi) would be larger than MAXREAL, the largest number representable.
