Gamma Function and Beta Function Beta Function: It is denoted by
(m, n) and is defined by 1
( m, n ) =
0
x m 1 (1 x) n 1 d x , m, n
0.
It is also known as First Eulerian Integral. Gamma Function: It is denoted by (n) and is defined by
x n 1 e x dx ,
( n)

0.
0
It is also known as Second Eulerian Integral.
Prove that (1) = 1 Proof: From the definition of gamma function
x n 1 e x dx , n 0 … … … (1)
( n) 0
Setting n = 1 in Equation (1) (1)
x 0 e x dx
= 0
