We use some standard numerical techniques to approximate the hypergeometric
function
for a range of parameter triples
on the interval
.
Some of the familiar hypergeometric functional identities
and asymptotic behavior of the hypergeometric function at
play crucial roles in deriving the formula for such approximations. We
also focus on error analysis of the numerical approximations leading to
monotone properties of quotients of gamma functions in parameter triples
.
Finally, an application to continued fractions of Gauss is discussed followed by
concluding remarks consisting of recent works on related problems.
