Talk:Associated Legendre function

Started from scratch, because (as so often) the Wikipedia article contains many duplications.--Paul Wormer 10:08, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

Added link to proof of orthogonality and derivation of normalization constant

I added a link to a proof of the first integral equation in the Orthogonality relations section Dan Nessett 16:39, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Formattting of proof

I formatted the proof somewhat to my taste (which is mainly determined by a careful reading of Knuth's the TeXbook). Most of my changes are self-explanatory. I added the integration by parts formula, because it was not clear at all where the u and the v' came from. Further

$1-x^{2}=\sin ^{2}\theta \quad {\hbox{not}}\quad \sin \theta$
