Thanks, but how do we arrive there ? Or is it just a theory ?

yeah you can say that the fact is.. erf(x)=(2/(√𝛑))∫_0 ^x e^(−t^2 ) dt well I have defferent way wait I post it...

=∫_0 ^1 Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (((−1)^n x^(2n) )/(n!))dx =1.Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (((−1)^n )/(n!(2n+1))) =Σ_(n=0) ^∞ ((1/2)/((n+(1/2)))).(((−1)^n )/(n!)) =Σ_(n=0 ) ^∞ ((((1/2))_n )/(((3/2))_n )).(((−1)^n )/(n!)) =M((1/2),(3/2),−1)or _1 F_1 ((1/2);(3/2);−1) this is called confluent hypergeometric f^n . note:(a)=(((a)_n )/((a+1)_n ))(a+n)[pochhammer symbol]
