SphericalHarmonic class documentation

SphericalHarmonic returns the value of P_l^m(theta,phi) where theta and phi are defined in terms of a standard spherical coordinate system (phi measures angle (x,y,z) makes with z axis.) The algorithm is taken from Messiah's Quantum Mechanics, but readers should note that Messiah defines theta and phi in opposite order from this implementation.

The java version of this code uses the factorial routines in MathLib. Functions are provided for the C++ class. This class should be used in conjunction with AssocLegendre.
