History of Science and Engineering Annotation << Back ANALYSIS OF NOTES ON THE THEORY OF GAMMA FUNCTION FROM NOTEBOOKS OF L. EULER I.V. Ignatushina, E.A. Silivanets The great scientist Leonard Euler (1707–1783), one of the founders of modern mathematics, has a decisive role in the formation of some sections of the theory of special functions. In particular, he introduced the concepts of gamma (G) and beta (B) functions and obtained important results regarding the properties of these functions, which are widely used in various branches of modern science. This article presents an analysis of pages from Euler's notebooks regarding the theory of gamma function. Keywords: gamma function, history of special functions, L. Euler.
