First sentence: The problem of giving x! a useful meaning when x is any nonnegative number was solved by Euler (1707-1783) in his private correspondence of October 13, 1729 and January 8, 1730 with Goldbach (1690-1764), who defined what is now called the gamma function ( ) := 0 t -1 e-tdt ( > 0; = + ir).
