1.1
The special function calculator is a double interpreter
specialized in the mathematical special functions :
Gamma, Bessel, Airy, Exponential integral, Clausen,
Rieman Zeta, Hurwitz zeta etc... The first interpreter
is a command line interpreter which can handle simple
mathematical formula in which you can include various
special functions calls like the classical transcendal
functions and the special functions. This interpreter
(called SFL for Special Function Langage) can memorize
variables and formulas. Coupled with this interpreter
the graph drawing tool allows you to visualize a function.
For more complexe computation a second interpreter
based on Lua engine is provided. Lua is a powerful and
modern scripting langage from which you can call the
mathematical special functions. There are more than 170
special functions which have been wrapped both callable
from SFL or Lua script.
In the mathematical world if you need special
functions facilities there are not a lot of solutions :
Mathematica, Maple, Matlab TM. If you do some
programming only the GSL (Gnu Scientific Library)
offers a good panel of functions. With this special
function calculator you have a small application in
which you can use easily special functions for your
computation. You can also make complexe application
using the Lua engine.
