gaussian, an Octave code which evaluates the Gaussian function for arbitrary mu and sigma, its antiderivative, and derivatives of arbitrary order.
A formula for the Gaussian function at the point x is:
g(x,mu,sigma) = 1/sigma/sqrt(2*pi) * exp ( -(x-mu)^2/2/sigma^2)
where mu is the mean value, and sigma is the standard deviation.

gaussian is available in a C version and a C++ version and a Fortran90 version and a MATLAB version and an Octave version and a Python version.
dirichlet, an Octave code which evaluates the Dirichlet kernel function, sometimes called the periodic sinc function. The function includes a parameter n, normally taken to be an integer. The function is defined by diric(x,n)=sin(0.5*n*x)/n/sin(0.5*x). Sample plots of these functions are made.
fresnel, an Octave code which evaluates the Fresnel cosine and sine integrals.
hermite_polynomial, an Octave code which evaluates the physicist's Hermite polynomial, the probabilist's Hermite polynomial, the Hermite function, and related functions.
humps, an Octave code which evaluates the humps() function, its first and second derivatives, and its antiderivative. The functions are plotted.
lagrange, an Octave code which evaluates any Lagrange basis polynomial L(i)(x), its antiderivative, or its first or second derivatives. Sample plots are made.
runge, an Octave code which evaluates the Runge() function, its first and second derivatives, and its antiderivative. This function causes a breakdown for polynomial interpolation over equally spaced nodes in [-1,+1]. Plots of these functions are made.
sigmoid, an Octave code which evaluates the sigmoid function s(x)=1/(1+exp(-x)) or its derivatives of any order. The test code creates graphic images.
sinc, an Octave code which evaluates the sinc() function, its first and second derivative and its antiderivative. The normalized function is defined by sincn=sin(pi*x)/(pi*x), the unnormalized function is sincu=sin(x)/x. Plots of these functions are made.
steinerberger, an Octave code which evaluates the Steinerberger function, a continuous function with discontinuous derivative, which is very hard to accurately plot, integrate, minimize, or interpolate. Plots of these functions are made.
