Airy function: History & Applications

In mathematics, the Airy function (or Airy function of the first kind) A i ( x ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {Ai({\boldsymbol {x}})} } is a special function named after the British astronomer George Biddell Airy. The function Ai ⁡ ( x ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {Ai} (x)} and the related function B i ( x ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {Bi({\boldsymbol {x}})} }…
