gamma( z )

The gamma function of z in Math, is special function. Defined by

\[ gamma(z) = \Gamma(z) = \int_0^\infty \; t^{z-1} e^{-t} \ dt \] \[ gamma(z,x) = \Gamma(z,x) = \int_x ^\infty \; t^{z-1} e^{-t} \ dt \] \[ gamma(z,0,x) = \gamma(z,0,x) = \int_0 ^x \; t^{z-1} e^{-t} \ dt = \Gamma(z) - \Gamma(z,x) \] \[ gamma(z,a,x) = \gamma(z,a,x) = \int_a ^x \; t^{z-1} e^{-t} \ dt = \gamma(z,0,x) - \gamma(z,0,a) \] gamma(n) = (n-1)! when n is positive integer.
