The error function $\mathrm{erf}$ is defined by $$\mathrm{erf}(x)=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}\displaystyle\int_0^x e^{-\tau^2} \mathrm{d}\tau.$$
Graph of $\mathrm{erf}$.
Domain coloring of $\mathrm{erf}$.
Properties
Taylor series for error function
Series for erf with exponential factored out
Error function is odd
Complex conjugate of argument of error function
Theorem: The following formula holds: $\dfrac{1}{2} \left( 1 + \mathrm{erf} \left( \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sqrt{2}\sigma} \right) \right)=\dfrac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2 \pi}} \displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^x \exp \left( -\dfrac{(t-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2} \right)\mathrm{d}t.$
