Hi,

I want to know how one can represent and calculate the hypergeometric2f1 function in matlab?

hypergeometric2f1(a,b;c;d)

Thanks

This file exchange contribution claims to evaluate it, but you have to put in your own guess of how many terms to include in the summation. This is another submission that has more general applicability.

hypergeom(n,d,z) is the generalizedhypergeometric function F(n, d, z),also known as the Barnes extended hypergeometric function and denoted by jFk where j= length(n) and k = length(d).

Forscalar a, b, and c, hypergeom([a,b],c,z) is the Gauss hypergeometricfunction 2F1(a,b;c;z).
