## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
Implement one algorithm (or more) to compute the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma function">Gamma</a> ($\Gamma$) function (in the real field only).
|
|
The Gamma function can be defined as:
|
|
<div style='padding-left: 4em;'><big><big>$\Gamma(x) = \displaystyle\int_0^\infty t^{x-1}e^{-t} dt$</big></big></div>
