Detailed Description

Example describing the usage of different kinds of Associate Legendre Polynomials.

To execute the macro type in:

root[0] .x LegendreAssoc.C

It draws common graphs for first 5 Associate Legendre Polynomials and Spherical Associate Legendre Polynomials. Their integrals on the range [-1, 1] are calculated.
