There might be something wrong with the function 'hypergeom' as pointed out by Mr. J. Pearson in his Oxford Thesis for his Masters' Degree.
I wonder who is the correct one, the Matlab or Mr. J. Pearson.
Thank you for your reading and ahead for your replying.

Although the question is from 5 years ago, the routine still seems to not function correctly in MATLAB 2020a.
I compared the results I receive from hypergeom to results I received from a commercial computer algebra program with adjustable digits,
which I can trust and the results differ substantially.
This is very unfortunate as I really appreciate MATLAB's scripting environment.
I hope MATLAB will tend to this problem in order to enhance symbolic algebraic science conducted in MATLAB.
