Derivative

d d z erf ⁡ ( z ) = 2 π e − z 2 {\displaystyle {\frac {d}{dz}}\operatorname {erf} (z)={\frac {2}{\sqrt {\pi }}}e^{-z^{2}}}

Antiderivative

∫ erf ⁡ ( z ) d z = z erf ⁡ ( z ) + e − z 2 π + C {\displaystyle \int \operatorname {erf} (z)\,dz=z\operatorname {erf} (z)+{\frac {e^{-z^{2}}}{\sqrt {\pi }}}+C}
