This Live Script provides a function to compute the negative zeros of the Airy functions Ai and Bi (and their first derivatives) and compares results to a semi-analytic approximation [1] and to MATHEMATICA®. The zero-search method is seeded with precomputed values and relies on the slowly changing gaps between zeros. It might be adapted to similar problems.
