(...) 54... (...) Double factorial equation (8) clearly states "Similarly, the double factorial can be extended to complex arguments as: [eqn image that I can't be bothered linking to]", similarly Factorial eqn (7). Which by my book means these (...) (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
