… ►Fresnel integrals and Cornu’s spiral occurred originally in the analysis of the diffraction of light; see Born and Wolf (1999, §8.7). More recently, Cornu’s spiral appears in the design of highways and railroad tracks, robot trajectory planning, and computer-aided design; see Meek and Walton (1992). … ►Efficient algorithms for computing the Faddeeva (or Faddeyeva) function are discussed in Wells (1999), a paper frequently cited in the astrophysics literature. … ►Dawson’s integral appears in de-convolving even more complex motional effects; see Pratt (2007). …22: 20.8 Watson’s Expansions

This denotes a set of solutions of (31.2.1) with the property that if we pass around a simple closed contour in the -plane that encircles and once in the positive sense, but not the remaining finite singularity, then the solution is multiplied by a constant factor .
