Euler integral

Summary

In mathematics, there are two types of Euler integral:[1]

  1. The Euler integral of the first kind is the beta function
  2. The Euler integral of the second kind is the gamma function[2]

For positive integers m and n, the two integrals can be expressed in terms of factorials and binomial coefficients:
