What is Introduction to the Gamma Function about?

The document introduces the gamma function Γ(λ) which is defined by an improper integral that converges for all λ > -1. It presents some key properties of the gamma function, including that Γ(λ+1) = λΓ(λ), which allows computing Γ(λ) for real values of λ knowing it for 1 ≤ λ ≤ 2. If λ is a positive integer, Γ(λ+1) = λ!. The graph of the gamma function is illustrated and half-integer values are shown to be multiples of √π. Examples and references are also included.
