Description

• 

The simplify/GAMMA function is used to simplify expressions containing the Gamma, factorial, or binomial functions.

• 

simplify/GAMMA will convert any factorials or binomials in expr to GAMMAs before proceeding with the simplification. If the result is required to be in factorial form, simplify/factorial can be used instead.

• 

You can enter the command simplify/GAMMA using either the 1-D or 2-D calling sequence.  For example, simplify(GAMMA(n+1)/GAMMA(n), GAMMA) is equivalent to simplifyΓn+1Γn,Γ.
