Computes the Airy function of the first kind.

Namespace:  Meta.Numerics.Functions
Assembly:  Meta.Numerics (in Meta.Numerics.dll) Version: 1.4.0.0 (1.4.0.0)

Syntax

         
 C#  Visual Basic  Visual C++ 
public static double AiryAi(
	double x
)
Public Shared Function AiryAi ( _
	x As Double _
) As Double
public:
static double AiryAi(
	double x
)

Parameters

x
Double
The argument.

Return Value

The value Ai(x).

Remarks

The Airy functions appear in quantum mechanics in the semiclassical WKB solution to the wave functions in a potential.

For negative arguments, Ai(x) is oscilatory. For positive arguments, it decreases exponentially with increasing x.
