Parent topics

  • Combinatorics [r]: Branch of mathematics concerning itself, at the elementary level, with counting things. [e]
  • Special function [r]: Various families of solution functions corresponding to cases of the hypergeometric equation or functions used in the equation's study, such as the gamma function. [e]
  • Meromorphic functions [r]: Function of complex variables which is analytic in its domain of definition save at a finite number of points which are poles. [e]

Subtopics

  • Stirling's formula [r]: An approximation to the factorial function far from the negative part of the real axis. [e]

Other related topics

  • Binomial coefficient [r]: The number of possible choices of k elements out of n elements, disregarding order. [e]
  • Gamma function [r]: A mathematical function that extends the domain of factorials to non-integers. [e]
