Sum or programming solution
Does anyone know if theres are sums that are exactly equal to the incomplete gamma functions? I'm looking for a programming solution for this, and I'd rather not make-shift an approximation. Fresheneesz 19:06, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Check out the Abramowitz and Stegun link in the references, Equation 6.5.13. Here's a quick link. See also 6.5.29.
- PS - why not include your findings in the article? PAR 02:21, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
- I always do - it makes homework take forever. haha. Fresheneesz 03:31, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Alternative name for upper incomplete gamma function
It may be useful also to note that, in older literature in particular, the upper incomplete gamma function is often referred to as "Prym's function". (Reference(s) available, if required.)
