| Title: |
Math, graph, gamma function |
| Description: |
Graph showing part of the complex number phase of the gamma function and a related function. One of the most important of the "special functions" discovered in the 18th century, the gamma function is related to the more familiar factorial function and plays a role in a wide variety of applications of probability and statistics. Here the pattern resembles that of fluid flow near the end of a line of vortices.
