Incorrect Picture

edit

The picture shows that the First-Order Bickley-Naylor function is symmetric about 0. However, upon inspection, any value of x < 0 produces Infinity because at pi/2, cos(theta) goes to 0. This results in exp[abs(x)/0] at the end of the integration range. Thus, I think the picture should be modified to properly show that the function is only defined in a useful way for values of x >= 0. 76.129.215.146 (talk) 14:10, 30 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Possible typo: Naylor/Nayler

Some references on these functions spell John Nayler's name with an 'e'. For example, the article here [1].
