Pochhammer

Pochhammer[a, n]
gives the Pochhammer symbol (a)_n.
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • (a)_n=a (a+1) ... (a+n-1)=Gamma (a+n) /Gamma(a).
  • For certain special arguments, Pochhammer automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • Pochhammer can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
