For some applications, such as Hayward's approximation, it is necessary to evaluate the Erlang B formula for a non-integer number of servers. The function in this file was designed with stability in mind and has been tested for a wide range of values (see screenshot).

erlang(A,k) calcuates the blocking probability for an M/M/k/k queue with A Erlangs of offered traffic and k servers.
