I used mathematica to solve an integral that I could not myself do analytically. The output contained a function Erfi[]. What is Erfi[]? I am familiar with the error function and its complement (Erf[] and Erfc[] in mathematica), but I do not understand Erfi[]. The function does not appear to be in the manuals that I have seen, either. If someone could translate Erfi[] or provide a reference, I would appreciate it. Thanks. Michael
