Just one empty stub remains in the Accessible Dictionary (aka NuVoc --remember it?):
H. (Hypergeometric) Conjunction http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/hcapdot Once that's filled-in, then NuVoc is more-or-less ready to go. You can already see it at http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary But alas, I need help... The J Dictionary (the old one) references Abramowitz and Stegun (A&S), Chapter 15: Hypergeometric Functions. Now A&S represent the syntax of the general case like so: F(a; b; c; z) Both NuVoc and the J Dictionary present the syntax of the (H.) primitive like so: (m H. n) y where both m and n are numeric lists. Now suppose I'm a newbie, and my first sight of: http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dhcapdot.htm just gives me a dull ache between the eyes. I need clear, unambiguous instructions for taking any example I choose from A&S and mapping it onto: (m H. n)y Let me make a start: z --> y That was the easy bit. Now... how should (a; b; c) --> (m; n)? Or should I be asking: how *best* should (a; b; c) be mapped onto m and n? Because as I see it, it's ambiguous. Just for starters: F(a; b; c; z) = F(b; a; c; z) -----[A&S 15.1.1] Suggestions please.
