The function calculates the zeros and weights of several orthogonal polynomials to be used in particular numerical integration problems. The quadrature rules implemented are the Hermite (probabilist-type), Hermite (physicist-type), Legendre, Chebyshev and Laguerre.
An interesting contribution is the (probabilist-type) Gauss-Hermite quadrature, which is validated through an example by comparing the results of the numerical integration with the moments of a standard Gaussian variable (see 'examples' section). Furthermore, the function displays two figures, the first shows roots vs. weights, and the second shows the corresponding orthogonal polynomials up to the specified order m.

Finally, it can be seen that other orthogonal polynomials can be easily included in the function (case ...) due to the general implementation of the weight's formula.
