Racah polynomials are a family of orthogonal polynomials that arise in the context of quantum mechanics and algebra, particularly in the study of angular momentum and the representation theory of the symmetric group. They are named after the physicist Gregorio Racah, who introduced them in the context of coupling angular momenta in quantum physics. \#\#\# Properties and Characteristics 1.
