Exponential integral function

  • Follow


Hello,

   I'm looking for special function (exponential integral function, 
Ei(x)). I found nothing about this function with Scilab. How can I 
calculate it?
Thanks,
Jean-Yves

Hi,  I checked around the new NIST Digital Library of Mathematical
Functions seems to point to expensive article downloads; whereas the
original NBS Handbook of mathematical functions has rational
polynomial approximations of 10^-4 and 10^-7 printed.   I mention
these because they are simple and fast.  If you look at either book
you can use Scilab to do the defining integration; but that will
probably be slower.
If your don't have the older book I can cut and paste the formula, or
there is a copy on the net.
