The gamma function extends this operation to complex numbers, and an approximation named for Stirling can calculate very large ones. This function, whose rate of growth surpasses the exponential function, can be used to find how many permutations there are of n objects. For 10 points, name this function whose symbol is the exclamation point, which for a positive integer consists of multiplication by all lower positive integers.
