Error function: Applications & Standards

In mathematics, the error function (also called the Gauss error function), often denoted by 𝐞𝐫𝐟, is the function erf⁡(z)=2π∫0ze−t2dt. The integral here is a complex contour integral which is path-independent because exp⁡(−t2) is holomorphic on the whole complex plane ℂ. In many applications, the function argument is a real number, in which case the…
