Scilab Function

gamma - The gamma function.

Calling Sequence

y = gamma(x)

Parameters

Description

gamma(x) evaluates the gamma function at all the elements of x. The gamma function is defined by :

                     /+oo
                     |   x-1  -t
         gamma(x) =  |  t    e    dt
                     /0
     

and generalizes the factorial function for real numbers (gamma(n+1) = n!).
