[GSOC] Generalized Hypergeometric Functions.

Hi all. I just added a quick and naive implementation of Pade approximation for 1f1 and 2f1 hypergeometric functions based on Luke's book. You can find code here: https://github.com/AntonBikineev/math/blob/hypergeometric/ include/boost/math/special_functions/detail/hypergeometric_pfq_pade.hpp I also want to thank Christopher Kormanyos for many advices and help. Best regards, Anton.

Hi Anton,
Great work! It looks like you've got excellent programming skills
and a clear grasp of the problem domain.
As a next step, it might be interesting to investigate some
ranges of convergence in your Pade expansions for various types
such as float, double, long double, and multiprecision.
* What parameter ranges are convergent?
* How many terms do we need in the expansions for a given digit
range? (Don't be surprised if we need *lots* of terms for multiprecision
--- like hundreds of them.)
Please be sure to follow Boost's porogress on the application
process for GSoC.
It's just a little bit too early to apply to GSoC, but if Boost gets
accepted for GSoC, I look forward to your application.
Get back to me any time either on the list or via private
e-mail to discuss further details.
Keep up the good work!
Sincerely, Chris.
