{{omit from|GAP}}
Implement one algorithm (or more) to compute the [[wp:Gamma function|Gamma]] (<math>\Gamma</math>) function (in the real field only). If your language has the function as builtin or you know a library which has it, compare your implementation's results with the results of the builtin/library function.
The Gamma function can be defined as:
:<math>\Gamma(x) = \displaystyle\int_0^\infty t^{x-1}e^{-t} dt</math>
This suggests a straightforward (but inefficient) way of computing the <math>\Gamma</math> through numerical integration.
Better suggested methods:
* [[wp:Lanczos approximation|Lanczos approximation]]
* [[wp:Stirling's approximation|Stirling's approximation]]
