Apologies if this has been answered else where.

How does Mathematica compute the value of LaguerreL[n,a,x] with negative 
n? How is the function defined?

 From what I understand n has to be positive, and in my (admittedly not 
exhaustive) searching I only come across information that says that n 
must be positive.

Cheers,
Ben
