A collection of functions to find the weights and abscissas for
Gaussian Quadrature.

These calculations are done by finding the eigenvalues of a
tridiagonal matrix whose entries are dependent on the coefficients
in the recursion formula for the orthogonal polynomials with the
corresponding weighting function over the interval.

Many recursion relations for orthogonal polynomials are given:

a1n f_n+1 (x) = (a2n + a3n x ) f_n (x) - a4n f_n-1 (x)

The recursion relation of interest is

P_n+1 (x) = (x - A_n) P_n (x) - B_n P_n-1 (x)

where P has a different normalization than f.

The coefficients can be found as:

A_n = -a2n / a3n

B_n = ( a4n / a3n sqrt(h_n-1 / h_n))**2

     where
             h_n = int_a^b w(x) f_n(x)^2
assume:
P_0(x) = 1
P_-1(x) == 0
