Hi all,

I'm glad to represent my GSoC project work about
implementation of hypergeometric functions:
https://github.com/BoostGSoC14/boost.math

I would like to thank everybody who helped me,
essentially my mentor Christopher Kormanyos, my
advisors John Maddock, Paul Bristow and, of course,
Niall Douglas.

The concentration of the project was mostly confluent
hypergeometric function 1f1. Some essential algorithms
were implemented and research works were done.
A few short articles may be read in my blog:

Of course, it's gonna be updated while researching.

The most important thing for me is that this work opened
new ideas, ways and approaches for development and investigation
of new numerical algorithms. Some of them are intended to
reduce probability of cancellation errors in power series
and to reduce round-off errors for recurrence relations at
unstable directions. So there are plenty of stuff to do and
improve.
