►Voigt functions
,
, can be regarded as the convolution of a Gaussian and a Lorentzian, and appear when the analysis of light (or particulate) absorption (or emission) involves thermal motion
effects.
…Dawson’s integral appears in de-convolving even more complex motional
effects; see
Pratt (2007).

►That 1046-page tome proved to be an invaluable reference for the many scientists and engineers who use the special functions of applied mathematics in their day-to-day
work, so much so that it became the most widely distributed and most highly cited NIST publication in the first 100 years of the institution’s existence.

►This immediately led to discussions among some of the project members about what might be possible, and the discovery that some interactive graphics
work had already been done for the NIST Matrix Market, a publicly available repository of test matrices for comparing the
effectiveness of numerical linear algebra algorithms.
