I couldn't find them either, except as headers in the .h file, so 
here is something I created/took from A&S...

#include <math.h>
double erf( double x)
{
  const double a1 = 0.3480242, a2=-0.0958798, a3=0.7478556, p=0.47047;
  double t;

  if( x < 0.0) return -erf( -x);
  t = 1.0 / ( 1.0 + p * x);
  return 1.0 - t * (a1 + t * (a2 + a3 * t)) * exp( -x * x);
}

Hope it helps...

Thought for the day:
    A penny saved is ridiculous.
