►The functions and are used extensively in statistics as the probability integrals of the gamma distribution; see Johnson et al. (1994, pp. 337–414). Particular forms are the chi-square distribution functions; see Johnson et al. (1994, pp. 415–493). The function and its normalization play a similar role in statistics in connection with the beta distribution; see Johnson et al. (1995, pp. 210–275). …3: 24.18 Physical Applications

►Bernoulli polynomials appear in statistical physics (Ordóñez and Driebe (1996)), in discussions of Casimir forces (Li et al. (1991)), and in a study of quark-gluon plasma (Meisinger et al. (2002)).
►Euler polynomials also appear in statistical physics as well as in semi-classical approximations to quantum probability distributions (Ballentine and McRae (1998)).
