public final class SpecialFunction
extends Object
This class contains physical constants and special functions not found in the java.lang.Math class. Like the java.lang.Math class this class is final and cannot be subclassed. All physical constants are in cgs units.

NOTE: These special functions do not necessarily use the fastest or most accurate algorithms.
