How to use

1

Enter n and x

Integer order n=0…8. Finite real x with |x|≤80. Defaults n=0, x=1.

2

Read I_n(x)

I_0(0)=1. I_0(1) ≈ 1.26606587775. I_1(1) ≈ 0.565159103992. The Live graph is y = I_n(x) at the current n.

Definition
The modified Bessel function of the first kind I_n(x) for integer order n=0…8. Series I_n(x)=(x/2)^n Σ (x/2)^{2k}/(k!(n+k)!). Even/odd like J_n. This page is mode=bessel_i on math.special. Not W_{-1}. Not CAS.
What it calculates
Modified Bessel function of the first kind I_n(x), integer n, with an engine-linked Live graph of y = I_n(x).
Inputs
  • n
  • x
Outputs
  • value

Frequently asked questions

Key distinctions behind the calculation.

Is this a second special-functions engine?

No. It is mode=bessel_i on math.special, the same engine as /calc/math/special-functions.

Does this compute K?

K_n is on /calc/math/bessel-k. This page is integer-order I_n. Not CAS.

Where does this run?

Locally in the browser by default. REST and MCP call the same special-functions engine.
