GammaRegularized[a,z]

is the regularized incomplete gamma function .

Details

Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
In non‐singular cases, .
GammaRegularized[a,z₀,z₁] is the generalized regularized incomplete gamma function, defined in non‐singular cases as Gamma[a,z₀,z₁]/Gamma[a].
Note that the arguments in GammaRegularized are arranged differently from those in BetaRegularized.
For certain special arguments, GammaRegularized automatically evaluates to exact values.
GammaRegularized can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
GammaRegularized automatically threads over lists.
GammaRegularized can be used with Interval and CenteredInterval objects. »
