`math.j1()` is a function that returns the order-one Bessel function for the first kind.

##### Function type signature

```js
(x: float) => float
```

For more information, see [Function type signatures](/flux/v0/function-type-signatures/).

## Parameters

### x

(Required) Value to operate on.

## Examples

-   [Return the order-one Bessel function of a value](#return-the-order-one-bessel-function-of-a-value)
-   [Use math.j1 in map](#use-mathj1-in-map)

### Return the order-one Bessel function of a value

```js
import "math"

math.j1(x: 1.23)// 0.5058005726280961

```

### Use math.j1 in map

```js
import "sampledata"
import "math"

sampledata.float()
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: math.j1(x: r._value)}))
```
