function z=hypergeometric2f1(a,b,c,x,n)
% HYPERGEOMETRIC2F1 Computes the hypergeometric function
% using a series expansion:
%
%    f(a,b;c;x)=
%
%    1 + [ab/1!c]x + [a(a+1)b(b+1)/2!c(c+1)]x^2 +
%    [a(a+1)(a+2)b(b+1)(b+2)/3!c(c+1)(c+2)]x^3 + ...
%
% The series is expanded to n terms
%
% This function solves the Gaussian Hypergeometric Differential Equation:
%
%     x(1-x)y'' + {c-(a+b+1)x}y' - aby = 0
%
% The Hypergeometric function converges only for:
% |x| < 1
% c != 0, -1, -2, -3, ...
