Bessel's equation

The ordinary differential equation x
where the parameter ν is a nonnegative real number, is known as Bessel's
differential equation.
Bessel functions of the first kind of order ν:
J
(
x
)
ν
where ν is not an integer, and the function Gamma Γ(α) is defined in Chapter
3.
If ν = n, an integer, the Bessel functions of the first kind for n = integer are
defined by
J
(
n
Regardless of whether we use ν (non-integer) or n (integer) in the calculator,
we can define the Bessel functions of the first kind by using the following finite
series:
Thus, we have control over the function's order, n, and of the number of
elements in the series, k.
