  • What is the factorial of the square root of 2? Can we do factorial of a non-whole number input? Learn more fun math on Brilliant via brilliant.org/...
    The sqrt(2) factorial is defined based on the extension of the factorial with the Gamma function. We actually get the improper integral from 0 to infinity of t^sqrt(2)*e^(-t). We can approximate this integral by using Simpson's Rule.

    Cool that you are extending factorial beyond the natural numbers without resorting to the gamma function with its unnecessary and confusing minus one. BlackPenRedPen- tidying up mathematics one small step at a time. :-)

    • @sergiokorochinsky49
      @sergiokorochinsky49 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      With all due respect, what's the difference between the definition of the gamma function and what he wrote on the blackboard?
      If you don't like the name Gamma and you want to call it Susan, it's fine with me, but it is still the same function.
      On the other hand, if you want to call it "factorial" when the factorial function is already well defined over and only over the positive integers, that's just stubborn nonsense.

    • @DeclanMBrennan
      @DeclanMBrennan 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi Sergio, For some weird reason youtube was interpreting minus one as a strikethrough so I've spelt it out instead. I'm not a mathematician but mostly when functions are extended from one domain into another, they keep the same name. Giving factorial the name gamma and requiring it's argument to be offset by one is confusing IMHO.

    • @sergiokorochinsky49
      @sergiokorochinsky49 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@DeclanMBrennan
      :-) Now your post is tidy and clear.
      You are right. Analytical extensions do not change the name of a function. But these two are *different* functions. Gamma(z) is defined as the famous integral, while n! is defined as n*(n-1)*...*3*2*1, and you finish in 1. When do you finish if the number is real, or even worse, complex?
      Let's assume z=3+2i.
      Then z!=(3+2i)*(2+2i)*(1+2i)*(0+2i)*(-1+2i)*...
      When do you finish??
      On the other hand, to calculate Gamma(z) you just plug the complex number in the integral and you solve it. Can you see the difference? :-)
      I acknowledge that in the special case of natural numbers
      Gamma(n)=(n-1)!
      (that's the minus one that bothers you!) but that is just a coincidence, it doesn't mean that Gamma is the analytical extension of Factorial... they are defined in a different way!
      For example, let's say that you have a problem in physics which solution is the zeta function of Riemann. Zeta is defined for complex numbers with real part positive. In some circumstances it is valid to ask "what happens if I extend the domain to the complex numbers with real part negative"? And then you use the analytical extension. But if the nature of your problem demands to multiply integers in descending order, you can't just replace the Factorial for another function (which happens to give you the same result at natural points) and expect to obtain a reasonable result. That would be like replacing sin(x) by tan(x) just because they give you the same result at every pi*n... that would be simply wrong.

    • @DeclanMBrennan
      @DeclanMBrennan 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sorry for wittering on so much :-) but the definition for gamma also makes other formulae a bit more messy than they need to be, for example the volume of an n ball with radius R is:
      pi^(n/2)
      ------------------------ R^n
      gamma(n/2+1)
      Using extended factorials this is:
      pi^(n/2)
      --------------- R^n
      (n/2) !
      which seems more symmetric and easier to remember (at least for me).
      (Of course we could use pi=( (-1/2) ! )^2 to have a formula with no pi and just factorials and powers but that's a digression. )

  • @krissp8712
    @krissp8712 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Interesting question. Without seeing your answer, I'm thinking 1st try should be better. The integrand is largest around t = sqrt(2) so most of the quadrature error should be there. I expect that to be more significant than the missing tail since the integrand is already pretty small at t = 10.

      niema nd It depends on how you define the factorial. If you simply define it as the map !: R -> R, then x! = Integral shown in the video. Then you can obtain the derivative and get that d/dx[x!] = x!(-γ + H(x)), where H(x) is the Harmonic number function, and γ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant.

      You can take the derivative of x! if you can define the digamma function. For more information, here is a Wikipedia article about the polygamma functions: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamma_function . The derivative of x! (technically its the derivative of the pi function since x! is only defined for the integers, which makes it non-continuous and have no derivative, but the pi function is a continuous version of x! so we can take the derivative of x! in that sense) is π(x)ψ(x + 1), where π(x) is the pi function and ψ(x) is the digamma function.

      what do you mean by product formula?
      do you mean x!=x (x-1) (x-2)... ?
      if so, that algorithm needs to end before you get negative terms. In the case of natural numbers, 2!=2 and the algorithm finishes with the exact solution, but with real x, how do you get the final approximation?

      "don't factorials work by multiplying it by the previous number"
      Not quite. You multiply by the factorial of the previous number. The way BPRP does it we do in fact have sqrt(2)! = sqrt(2)*(sqrt(2)-1)!

      Bandana Shrivastava because sqrt(2) is approximately 1.4 so if we set t^1.4 as f(t) then f'(t) will be t^0,4 if we integrate by parts one time more we have f''(t) = t^-0,6 and so on...

  • @beatoriche7301
    @beatoriche7301 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m gonna guess that the first one is the better approximation. After all, e^t gets really small really fast, whereas t^sqrt(2) is not even at 100 when t = 10 (compared to e^10, which is probably already in the 10 000s), so only considering inputs near the origin will probably not affect the result as much as using only one parabola for every input step of size two.

      So, my logic was that the interval being bigger but the number of sub-intervals being smaller would lead to bigger error. Simpson's rule would definitely have some error when approximating that function, and the error would be made smaller if your n is bigger.
