Issue:
Use Dawson function for dispersion
`plasma_dispersion_func` under `mathematics.py` currently uses `erf()` along with some other terms. This can be simplified to Dawson function, [dawsn](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.special.dawsn.html), and may even offer some minor speedups if scipy implements it in C code.

Pull request:
Modified plasma_dispersion_func to use wofz() in scipy. Fixed tests
Modified plasma_dispersion_func to use wofz() in scipy as Faddeeva function in mathematic.py . Modified rtol values so the tests pass. Modified the values in Docstring so the Doctests pass.

Closes #208
