function [ n_data, x, fx ] = e1_values ( n_data ) %% E1_VALUES returns some values of the exponential integral function E1(X). % % Definition: % % The exponential integral E1(X) is defined by the formula: % % E1(X) = integral ( 1 <= T <= Infinity ) exp ( -X*T ) / T dT % % In Mathematica, the function can be evaluated by: % % ExpIntegralE[1,x] % % Modified: % % 16 September 2004 % % Author: % % John Burkardt % % Reference: % % Milton Abramowitz and Irene Stegun, % Handbook of Mathematical Functions, % US Department of Commerce, 1964. % % Stephen Wolfram, % The Mathematica Book, % Fourth Edition, % Wolfram Media / Cambridge University Press, 1999. % % Parameters: % % Input/output, integer N_DATA.
