Hello friends, Please forgive me - I know I will be asking questions that to you will appear stupid. I do applogize for that. I'm working through Mr. Wolfram's book - page by page. I love this Mathematica program and the book is very well designed. I am just trying to learn. I need to know about Euler's Gamma and Beta functions. I understand the attempt to generalize the factorial and how the Beta function arose but could you show me a few examples from physics and/or engineering how these functions are useful? I need to get a feel for them. Thank you very much, Raz
