26.8 Mathematical functions for floating-point types [c.math]

double       hermite(unsigned n, double x);
float        hermitef(unsigned n, float x);
long double  hermitel(unsigned n, long double x);

Effects: These functions compute the Hermite polynomials of their respective arguments n and x.

Returns:

H_{n} (x) = (- 1)^{n} e^{x^{2}} \frac{d^{n}}{d x^{n}} e^{- x^{2}}

where n is n and x is x.

Remarks: The effect of calling each of these functions is implementation-defined if n >= 128.
