# scipy.special.bi_zeros

scipy.special.bi_zeros(nt)

  Compute nt zeros and values of the Airy function Bi and its derivative.

  Computes the first nt zeros, b, of the Airy function Bi(x); first nt zeros, b’, of the derivative of the Airy function Bi’(x); the corresponding values Bi(b’); and the corresponding values Bi’(b).

  Parameters:
    nt int

      Number of zeros to compute

  Returns:
    b ndarray

      First nt zeros of Bi(x)

    bp ndarray

      First nt zeros of Bi’(x)

    bi ndarray

      Values of Bi(x) evaluated at first nt zeros of Bi’(x)

    bip ndarray

      Values of Bi’(x) evaluated at first nt zeros of Bi(x)
