Total Posts: 2007 | I'm not in calculus, but attempting to make a program that does functions for me that require calculus, so i kinda need help. Does anyone know what the gamma function does? On Math.com, it says it is a special form of an integral, but i don't have a dam clue how to do that either. Would much appreciate any help/explanation. |
