More specifically, I hope I will be able to looking into the multiple
precision implementation of the hypergeometric function 2F1(a, b, c,
z) and change the power series
Your best bet is probably to look at the GSL code for 2F1 (which is
declared in gsl_sf_hyperg.h) and try to adapt that for higher
precision. If you need help, try consulting the suggested references
in the GSL manual:
MISCFUN: A software package to compute uncommon special functions.
`ACM Trans. Math. Soft.', vol. 22, 1996, 288-301
G.N. Watson, A Treatise on the Theory of Bessel Functions, 2nd
Edition (Cambridge University Press, 1944).
G. Nemeth, Mathematical Approximations of Special Functions, Nova
Science Publishers, ISBN 1-56072-052-2

Wiley & Sons, New York (1997).

Functions, Academic Press, New York (1977).
Alternatively, consult Abramowitz & Stegun, a standard reference for the GSL:
