21: 9.17 Methods of Computation
Since these expansions diverge, the accuracy they yield is limited by the magnitude of | z | . However, in the case of Ai ( z ) and Bi ( z ) this accuracy can be increased considerably by use of the exponentially-improved forms of expansion supplied in §9.7(v). … A comprehensive and powerful approach is to integrate the defining differential equation (9.2.1) by direct numerical methods. …
§9.17(iv) Via Bessel Functions
Zeros of the Airy functions, and their derivatives, can be computed to high precision via Newton’s rule (§3.8(ii)) or Halley’s rule (§3.8(v)), using values supplied by the asymptotic expansions of §9.9(iv) as initial approximations. …

    §27.17 Other Applications
    Reed et al. (1990, pp. 458–470) describes a number-theoretic approach to Fourier analysis (called the arithmetic Fourier transform) that uses the Möbius inversion (27.5.7) to increase efficiency in computing coefficients of Fourier series. … Schroeder (2006) describes many of these applications, including the design of concert hall ceilings to scatter sound into broad lateral patterns for improved acoustic quality, precise measurements of delays of radar echoes from Venus and Mercury to confirm one of the relativistic effects predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, and the use of primes in creating artistic graphical designs.
