Re: i !
Finding that integral is pretty difficult. You need to find an approximation with Taylor series, and the answer is not particularly nice...

Re: i !
Hi;
The gamma function is defined as
If it could be integrated then that would be the definition of the gamma function, not the integral.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.
