Fungrim entry: 09e2ed

Symbol: Gamma Γ(z)\Gamma(z) Gamma function
The gamma function Γ(z)\Gamma(z) is a function of one complex variable zz. It is a meromorphic function with simple poles at the nonpositive integers and no zeros. It can be defined by the integral representation 4e4e0f in the right half-plane, together with the functional equation 78f1f4 for analytic continuation. The following table lists all conditions such that Gamma(z) is defined in Fungrim.
