| Abstract: | The simplest method of calculating gravitational fields is to use a set of biorthogonal pairs of mass-potential functions. A suitable set of functions for three dimensional mass distributions is derived which uses ultraspherical polynomials. Algorithms for computing the gravitational field are discussed which attempt to maximise computational efficiency. |
