Thanks Raymond, Richard, Stavros. You are all correct about the special
functions - I was trusting another implementation when I should have
trusted Maxima's!
Another Special functions question: Is it possible to compute
numerically Kummer's U confluent hypergeometric
function U(a,b,x) (also denoted $_1F_1(a,b,x)$) in maxima? It should be
%f[1,1]([1],[1],0.5) or something (when a=b=1, x=1/2).
I tried load("hyp") first but this didn't seem to help.
