! !ROUTINE: wigner3j
! !INTERFACE:
real(8) function wigner3j(j1,j2,j3,m1,m2,m3)
! !INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
!   j1, j2, j3 : angular momentum quantum numbers (in,integer)
!   m1, m2, m3 : magnetic quantum numbers (in,integer)
! !DESCRIPTION:
!   Returns the Wigner $3j$-symbol. There are many equivalent formulae for
!   the $3j$-symbols, the following provides high accuracy for $j\le 50$
!   \begin{align*}
!    &\begin{pmatrix} j_1 & j_2 & j_3 \\ m_1 & m_2 & m_3 \end{pmatrix}= \\
!    &(-1)^{j1+j2+m3}\sqrt{\frac{(j_1+m_1)!\,(j_2+m_2)!\,(j_3+m_3)!\,
!    (j_3-m_3)!\,(j_1-m_1)!\,(j_2-m_2)!}{(j_2-j_1+j_3)!\,(j_1-j_2+j_3)!\,
!    (j_1+j_2-j_3)!\,(1+j_1+j_2+j_3)!}}\,\sum_k(-1)^k \\
!    &\frac{(j_2-j_1+j_3)!\,(j_1-j_2+j_3)!\,(j_1+j_2-j_3)!}{(j_3-j_1-m_2+k)!\,
!    (j_3-j_2+m_1+k)!\,(j_1+j_2-j_3-k)!\,k!\,(j_1-m_1-k)!\,(j_2+m_2-k)!},
!   \end{align*}
!   where the sum is over all integers $k$ for which the factorials in the
!   summand are non-negative.
