With all Boost.Math using try'n'catch is *ALWAYS* a good idea - to get the helpful error messages.
I forgot to mention if you don't like getting an exception and error message when you pass a 'duff' argument value, (It doesn't only happen from simple 'head banging' causes! ;-) John Maddock has carefully provided the policies mechanism to allow you to alter the behaviour of the package. See the section of policies for some examples - it's not as complicated as it looks. Paul PS A PDF build of the documentation for Boost-1.41 (for those libraries that support it) is now available from the usual sourceforge download site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/ in the boost-docs/1.41.0 folder.
