% Author : Daniel Hobbs , University of Bath, 1995 - 1996
%
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
%
%  The incomplete gamma function.
%
%  igamma_iter_series(a,x,iter,sum,last_term) - iteratively computes the
%		value of an approximation to an infinite series used in
% 		igamma (for x<=1 or x<a).
%
%  igamma_cont_frac(a,x,iter,iter_max) - iteratively computes the value of
%	the continuous fraction used in igamma (for other values of x).
%
%  igamma_eval(a,x) - returns the value at point x of the
%		incomplete gamma function of order ord.
%
%  The incomplete beta function.
%
%  ibeta_cont_frac(iter,iter_max,a,b,x) - recursively computes
%		the value of the continuous fraction used to
%		approximate to the incomplete beta function.
%
%  ibeta_eval(a,b,x) - returns the value of the incomplete beta
%		function with
%		parameters a and b at point x, by approximating to the
%		incomplete beta function using a continued fraction.
