Description

I would need an approximation in terms of elementary functions for digamma(x + i y), x>1/2, smoothly interpolating between small and large |y|

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing digamma implementation in mathjs. Research the digamma function with complex arguments and suitable approximation formulas. Consider implementing using series expansion or asymptotic expansion.
