50 The function <a class="link" href="ai.html" title="Airy Ai Function">airy_ai</a> calculates
51 the Airy function Ai which is the first solution to the differential equation:

61 The final <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Chapter&#160;15.&#160;Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc">Policy</a> argument is optional and can
62 be used to control the behaviour of the function: how it handles errors,
63 what level of precision to use etc. Refer to the <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Chapter&#160;15.&#160;Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc">policy
64 documentation for more details</a>.

67 The following graph illustrates how this function changes as <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>
68 changes: for negative <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> the function is cyclic, while
69 for positive <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> the value tends to zero:

79 This function is implemented entirely in terms of the Bessel functions <a class="link" href="../bessel/bessel_first.html" title="Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_j</a> and <a class="link" href="../bessel/mbessel.html" title="Modified Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_k</a> - refer to those
80 functions for detailed accuracy information.

83 In general though, the relative error is low (less than 100 &#949;) for <span class="emphasis"><em>x
84 &gt; 0</em></span> while only the absolute error is low for <span class="emphasis"><em>x &lt;
85 0</em></span>.

92 Since this function is implemented in terms of other special functions, there
93 are only a few basic sanity checks, using test values from <a href="http://functions.wolfram.com/" target="_top">Wolfram
