fonction gamma

Also known as complete gamma function, Euler integral of the second kind

fonction complexe, qui prolonge la fonction factorielle à l’ensemble des nombres complexes

AI overview

The gamma function is a mathematical tool that extends the concept of factorials (like 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) to work with any real or complex number, not just whole numbers. It matters because it appears throughout science and engineering in calculations involving probability, statistics, physics, and other fields where understanding how quantities change across continuous ranges is important.

En mathématiques, la fonction gamma (notée par la lettre grecque Γ) est une fonction complexe, considérée également comme une fonction spéciale. Elle prolonge la fonction factorielle à l'ensemble des nombres complexes (à l'exception des entiers négatifs) : on a pour tout entier n > 0 : Γ(n) = (n–1)! = 1×2×...×(n–1).
