It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as InverseErf[x]. It is an odd function since (3) It has the special values (4) (5) (6) It is apparently not known if (7) (OEIS A069286) can be written in closed form. It satisfies

the equation (8) where is the inverse erfc function. It has the derivative (9) and its integral is (10) (which follows from the method of Parker 1955). Definite integrals are given by (11) (12) (13) (14) (OEIS A087197 and A114864), where is the Euler-Mascheroni constant and is the natural logarithm of 2. The Maclaurin series of is given by (15) (OEIS A002067 and A007019). Written in simplified form so that the coefficient of is 1, (16) (OEIS A092676 and A092677). The th coefficient of this series can be computed as (17) where is given by the recurrence equation (18) with initial condition .

I know that $\erf\sim f(x)=\frac{2x}{\sqrt{\pi}}$ now since the inverse function of $f$ is close to $0$ when $x$ is close to $0$ I can use that as an approximation for $\erf^{-1}$, in fact $\erf(f(x))\sim x$ when $x<<1$. Now this doesn't work with erfc since the inverse function of $1-f(x)$ is not small for small values of $x$ Though I know that $\erfc(x) \sim g(x)=\frac{1}{\pi}\frac{e^{-x^2}}x$ for $x\gg1$. Since $g^{-1}$ is an increasing function is should be true that $g^{-1}(x)\gg1$ when $x\gg1$ but is there any simple way to compute the inverse of this function?

For the inverse error function, for small arguments, Taylor series seem to be quite good $$\text{erf}^{-1}(x)=\frac{\sqrt{\pi } }{2}x\Big(1+\frac{\pi }{12}x^2+\frac{7 \pi ^2 }{480}x^4+\frac{127 \pi ^3 }{40320}x^6+O\left(x^8\right)\Big)$$ Pade approximants $$\text{erf}^{-1}(x)=\frac{\sqrt{\pi } }{2}x\frac{1-\frac{11 \pi }{120}x^2}{1-\frac{7 \pi }{40}x^2}$$ $$\text{erf}^{-1}(x)=\frac{\s
