Abstract :
Spheroidal wave functions occur in many scientific and engineering contexts, from atomic nuclei to the cosmos-scattering by nonspherical nuclei, wave functions of diatomic molecules, analysis of band-limited random noise, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, and anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Therefore, visualizing these functions and computing them reliably can be useful and interesting
