Computer plot graphs of K(k) and E(k)in (12.3)for k = 0 - 1. Also plot 3Dgraphs of and in (12.1) for k = 0-1andfrom and also from. Warning: Be sure you understand the notation used by your computer program; see text discussion just after (12.3) and Example 1.
Verify equations (9.2), (9.3), and (9.4). Hint: In (9.2a) , you want to write in terms of an error function. Make the change of variable t = u √2 t = u (√2)in the integral. Warning: Don’t forget to adjust the limits; when .
