Abstract
Because of the importance of special functions, several books and a large collection of papers have been devoted to the numerical computation of these functions, the most well-known being the NBS handbook by Abramowitz and Stegun. But up to this date, symbolic and numeric environments offer no routines for the validated evaluation of special functions. We point out how a provable correct function evaluation can be returned efficiently.
