Dear All,

I have found this discussion very interesting. I have a similar
problem and was wondering if a similar "oneliner" solution for numeric
integrals of associated Legendre polynomial involving intervals that
contains many zeros of LegendreP[n,m,z] is possible.
Any idea how to generate a list of Zeros for LegendreP[n,m,z]?
Haven't found and library as, Needs["NumericalMath`BesselZeros`"]

Many thanks,
Antonio Neves
