We follow the [Digital Library of Mathematical Functions](https://dlmf.nist.gov/18.3),
which defines the following classical orthogonal polynomials:

1. Legendre: `P_n(x)`
2. Chebyshev (1st kind, 2nd kind): `T_n(x)`, `U_n(x)`
3. Ultraspherical: `C_n^{(λ)}(x)`
4. Jacobi: `P_n^{(a,b)}(x)`
5. Laguerre: `L_n^{(α)}(x)`
6. Hermite: `H_n(x)`
1. Legendre: $P_n(x)$, defined over $[-1, 1]$ with weight $w(x) = 1$.
2. Chebyshev (1st kind, 2nd kind): $T_n(x)$ and $U_n(x)$, defined over $[-1, 1]$ with weights $w(x) = 1/\sqrt{1-x^2}$ and $w(x) = \sqrt{1-x^2}$, respectively.
3. Ultraspherical: $C_n^{(\lambda)}(x)$, defined over $[-1, 1]$ with weight $w(x) = (1-x^2)^{\lambda-1/2}$.
4. Jacobi: $P_n^{(a,b)}(x)$, defined over $[-1, 1]$ with weight $w(x) = (1-x)^a(1+x)^b$.
5. Laguerre: $L_n^{(\alpha)}(x)$, defined over $[0, ∞)$ with weight $w(x) = x^\alpha \mathrm{e}^{-x}$.
6. Hermite: $H_n(x)$, defined over $(-∞, ∞)$ with weight $w(x) = \mathrm{e}^{-x^2}$.

These special polynomials have many applications and can be used as a basis for any function given their domain conditions are met, however these polynomials have some advantages due to their formulation:
