public static double LegendreP(
	int l,
	double x
)

Public Shared Function LegendreP ( _
	l As Integer, _
	x As Double _
) As Double

public:
static double LegendreP(
	int l, 
	double x
)

static member LegendreP : 
        l:int * 
        x:float -> float

Parameters

x (Double): The argument, which must lie on the closed interval between -1 and +1.

Return Value

The value of P_l(x).

Remarks

Legendre polynomials are orthogonal on the interval [-1,1].
