is the m-th coefficient of the binomial expansion (x+y)
n
. It also represents the
number of combinations of n elements taken m at a time. This function is
available in the calculator as function COMB in the MTH/PROB menu (see
also Chapter 17).
You can define the following function to calculate Laguerre’s polynomials:
When done typing it in the equation writer press use function DEFINE to
create the function L(x,n) into variable
@@@L@@@
.
To generate the first four Laguerre polynomials use, L(x,0), L(x,1), L(x,2), L(x,3).
The results are:

In the calculator, the function HERMITE, available through the menu
ARITHMETIC/POLYNOMIAL. Function HERMITE takes as argument an integer
number, n, and returns the Hermite polynomial of n-th degree. For example,
the first four Hermite polynomials are obtained by using:
