SphericalHarmonicY INDEX

SPHERICALHARMONICY _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ operator

The SphericalHarmonicY operator computes Spherical harmonic (Laplace) polynomials. These are special cases of the solid harmonic polynomials, SolidHarmonicY.

syntax:

SphericalHarmonicY(<integer>,<integer>, <expression>,<expression>)

examples:


SphericalHarmonicY(3,2,theta,phi);
