In the test directory, include code function values of different polynomials as tests to verify answers are correct.
I have yet to find a more efficient method than copy pasting the pdf archives and manually checking each one.

  • Legendre
  • Tshebyshev
  • Ultraspherical
  • Tshebyshev of the second kind
  • Gegenbauer
  • Laguerre
  • Hermite

You should use the more modern DLMF which replaces Abramowitz & Stegun: https://dlmf.nist.gov

@dlfivefifty thank you for chiming in and welcome!
I will update as I implement more coverage, but unless I've missed something, I don't believe I can find tables of values for the Orthogonal Polynomials in the DLMF that don't refer back to the A&S Tables -- though there are tables of zeros which we could consider adding in the future.

Ah, you are actually using tables. Then A&S it is
