These pages show the names of the individuals who first used various common mathematical symbols, and the dates the symbols first appeared. The most important written source is the definitive A History of Mathematical Notations by...

My favorite: SVG is Turing-complete because it can be used to (slowly) simulate Rule 110 (and one hopes the weird boundary conditions needed to make Rule 110 Turing complete): github.com/tom-p-reichel/svg-i

So apparently the only implementations of Bessel functions of cmplex argument in C++ are the ones in boost libs, a wrapped Fortran lib and finally the ones implemented in C++17.

I guess I'll just write my own then, since I only need $$J_1$$
