The Gamma Function is central to the Gamma probability distribution
which has two parameters (characterizing constants) in its probability
density function which when the variable argument x is equal to 0
reduces to 1 divided by the gamma function times a constant.
The Special Functions include the various Special Polynomials and are
even involved in various elliptic integrals, many of which readers are
familiar with from solutions or quadratures of the Schrodinger equation
for example. The Special Functions also enter into Combinatorics and
Number Theory as among the main types of function, into
Probability-Statistics as among the main functions in probability
distributions (not only the gamma distribution family but many others
such as the hypergeometric distribution), and on and on. If readers
don't know about the key role of Combinatorics in quantum theory for
example, then look it up on the internet.
