βΊA quadratic transformation relates
two hypergeometric functions, with the
variable in one a quadratic function of the
variable in the other, possibly combined with a fractional linear transformation.
…
βΊThe transformation formulas between
two hypergeometric functions in Group 2, or
two hypergeometric functions in Group 3, are the linear transformations (
15.8.1).
…
βΊWhen the intersection of
two groups in Table
15.8.1 is not empty there exist special quadratic transformations, with only one free parameter, between
two hypergeometric functions in the same group.

βΊThis is a quadratic transformation between
two cases in Group 1.
