The Airy functions Ai(x) and Bi(x) are defined in Abramowitz and Stegun, Handbook of Mathematical Functions, Section 10.4.
y = Ai(x) and y = Bi(x) are two linearly independent solutions
of the Airy differential equation diff (y(x), x, 2) - x y(x) = 0.
If the argument x is a real or complex floating point
number, the numerical value of the function is returned.
The Airy function Ai(x). (A&S 10.4.2)
The derivative diff (airy_ai(x), x) is airy_dai(x).
See also airy_bi, airy_dai, airy_dbi.
