I am afraid I find the first paragraph is unclear in its present form - it says that the B-C function is a function of two complex variables, but does not make it clear. Is n intended to be a complex variable here? If so, isn't that highly unusual? Madmath789 06:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, both n and z are complex variables. I don't know why you call that unusual; several complex variables is a standard topic. Gene Ward Smith 09:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

yes, several complex variables certainly is a standard topic - that is not what is unusual. I am referring to the fact that n is very rarely used as the name of a complex variable. I still think the first paragraph is unclear about the two variables and the domain of definition. OK, I have seen the change you have made - it is clearer now. Madmath789 09:42, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

It's certainly true that you don't normally call complex variables "n", but that is commonly done when discussing Bessel functions. Gene Ward Smith 21:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
