50 The function <a class="link" href="aip.html" title="Airy Ai' Function">airy_ai_prime</a> calculates
51 the Airy function Ai' which is the derivative of the first solution to the
52 differential equation:
55 <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/airy.svg"></span>
58 The final <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Chapter 15. Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc">Policy</a> argument is optional and can
59 be used to control the behaviour of the function: how it handles errors,
60 what level of precision to use etc. Refer to the <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Chapter 15. Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc">policy
61 documentation for more details</a>.
64 The following graph illustrates how this function changes as <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>
65 changes: for negative <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> the function is cyclic, while
66 for positive <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> the value tends to zero:

76 This function is implemented entirely in terms of the Bessel functions <a class="link" href="../bessel/bessel_first.html" title="Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_j</a> and <a class="link" href="../bessel/mbessel.html" title="Modified Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_k</a> - refer to those
77 functions for detailed accuracy information.
80 In general though, the relative error is low (less than 100 ε) for <span class="emphasis"><em>x
81 > 0</em></span> while only the absolute error is low for <span class="emphasis"><em>x <

89 Since this function is implemented in terms of other special functions, there
90 are only a few basic sanity checks, using test values from <a href="http://functions.wolfram.com" target="_top">functions.wolfram.com</a>.
