  • Abstract
    A simple series for computation of the error function Q(·) is derived. It is well suited for implementation on a personal computer, having six or more significant figure accuracy over a wide range of argument and requiring few lines of code to program. Its advantage over other series is its rapid convergence over a wide range of argument
