Gauss Hypergeometric function [message #71324]

Hello,

I need to use the gauss hypergeometric function 2F1 (for mathematica
it is on http://functions.wolfram.com/HypergeometricFunctions/Hyperge ometric2F1/);
it is the solution of the indefinite integral (1+ (x*L)^2)^(-q/2),
with L and q positive constants; it seems not to be implemented in
IDL. I have found some routines for the confluent hypergeometric
function of the first kind. Has anybody a routine to reproduce this
function without using the series expansion? Thanks for your attention

On a related note, the successor to the classic book by Abramowitz and
Stegun and special functions is now online at NIST.

http://dlmf.nist.gov/

Many of us have the original volume propping up one end of our bookshelves.

The special function capabilities of the IDL IMSL library are somewhat
limited, although some functions are available elsewhere in IDL (e.g.,
Legendre and Lagurre functions).
