Line 2: == History == The idea was introduced more than thirty years ago by W.J. Lentz. Lentz suggested that calculating ratios of ~~Spherical~~spherical Bessel functions of complex arguments can be difficult. He developed a new continued fraction technique for calculating them. This method was an improvement compared to other methods because it eliminated errors on certain terms or provided zero as a result.<ref>{{Cite book\|last=J.\|first=Lentz, W.\|url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/227549426\|title=A Simplification of Lentz's Algorithm.\|date=1982-08\|publisher=Defense Technical Information Center\|oclc=227549426}}</ref> == Initial work ==
