I didn't realize that I have specials functions that are not in
octave, such as hypergeometric functions
hyperg_0F1 hyperg_1F1 hyperg_U
so I can express the Laguerre polynomials in terms of these
functions.
Anyway, GSL does have Laguerre
polynomials, so why there aren't in octave?

the GNU Scientific Library (GSL), installing gsl-bin, libgsl0ldbl,
libgsl0-dev and octave-gsl from debian repositories.
However, the only function installed in octave is gsl_sf:
-- Loadable Function: gsl_sf ()
Octave bindings to the GNU Scientific Library. All GSL functions
can be called with by the GSL names within octave.
I haven't found any further documentation of the function.
How can I use Laguerre polynomials and other special functions in
octave? Is GSL a good option or there are better ones?
