Tour of Special Functions

Examples and plots for Boost Special Functions
  

Description

Boost library Special Functions: usage, bounds and plots

An array of Special Functions supplied by the Boost library. The library's online documentation serves as the primary reference for the following functions.

Many of the functions are only valid in certain numerical ranges. The following tour will show you plots that illustrate the behavior of the functions, their ranges and asymptotes.

Define the plotting functions in the next section, then you can use the Table of Contents menu to jump between function families.

Before you get started...

Define the following functions that will lay out the plots for you:
