The Gaussian hypergeometric function 2F1 is included with other special functions in the cephes-1.3 package. See http://pylab.sourceforge.net I haven't used the hypergeometric function, but the Bessel functions work well with Numerical Python. -Mark Esplin ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Numpy-discussion] Seeking hypergeometric 2F1 algorithm Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 10:57:56 -1000 From: "Herbert L. Roitblat" To: Does anyone have an agorithm for computing the Gaussian hypergeometric function 2F1 ? I understand that in principle it should be easy (sum of a series), but I think that there is a more efficient way to calculate it. My algorithmic skills are not up to it.
