Legendre's polynomials are pre-programmed in the calculator and can be
recalled by using the function LEGENDRE given the order of the polynomial, n.
The function LEGENDRE can be obtained from the command catalog (‚N)
or through the menu ARITHMETIC/POLYNOMIAL menu (see Chapter 5). In
RPN mode, the first six Legendre polynomials are obtained as follows:
0 LEGENDRE, result: 1,
1 LEGENDRE, result: 'X',
2 LEGENDRE, result: '(3*X^2-1)/2',
3 LEGENDRE, result: '(5*X^3-3*X)/2',
4 LEGENDRE, result: '(35*X^4-30*X^2+3)/8', i.e.,
5 LEGENDRE, result: '(63*X^5-70*X^3+15*X)/8', i.e.,
