The Gamma function, denoted as \( \Gamma(n) \), is a mathematical function that generalizes the factorial function to complex and real number arguments. For any positive integer \( n \), the Gamma function satisfies the relation: \[ \Gamma(n) = (n-1)! \] The Gamma function is defined for all complex numbers except for the non-positive integers.
