Abstract.Whereas the theory of the Wright function is already well studied, its numerical evaluation is an open problem yet. Here summation of series, integral representations, and asymptotical expansions are presented. For the complex plane different numerical techniques are used and estimates for accuracy of the computations are provided. The techniques employed in the paper could be used for numerical evaluation of other functions of the hypergeometric type.
