Take the tour ×  My TI-83 calculator doesnt allow me to do this,
but using Windows calculator, I can compute the factorial of say
5.8. What does this mean and how does it work?  share|improve
this question As I recall, these calculators can compute
factorials of half-integers. But yes, you need $\Gamma(z)$ in
general. –  Ｊ. Ｍ. Nov 28 '10 at 1:29 add comment  1 Answer  up

function. It restricts to the usual factorial on natural
numbers.   share|improve this answer Wow thats crazy. Thanks –
