[Q]: sum of the squares of the reciprocals of this function evaluated at the nonnegative integers is equal to the modified Bessel function of the first kind at x=2. The Leviathan Number is found by evaluating this function at 10 to the 666th power. The rising type can be represented with the Pochhammer Symbol. Wilson's Theorem states that this function of any prime minus 1 is also congruent to -1 modulo that prime. Legendre's theorem provides a corollary to determine the number of (*) trailing zeroes of this function evaluated at nonnegative integers. When this function is evaluated at large numbers, Stirling's approximation is used. The gamma function extends this function to all complex numbers other than negative integers. For 10 points, name this function that, for positive integers n, is the product from 1 to n, and which is represented by an exclamation point.

[Q]: This author wrote a novel in which the Marquis Tudesco tries to help the title character become a good citizen, The Aspirations of Jean Servien. One of this author's characters runs into Madame Trepof, whose husband collects match-boxes, after acquiring a Clark Alexander translation of The Golden Legend of Jacques de Voragine. In another of his novels, a certain society's property rights are established by knocking each other on the head. That novel, in which Charlemagne is represented by Draco the Great, features a discussion between God and the saints about the validity of the snow-blind Breton monk Mael's baptism of the title animals. For 10 points, name this French author of The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard and Penguin Island.
[A]: Literature

[Q]: Organisms cited in the 1972 paper that put forth this theory include the families related to P. Bermundensis and Gryphaea. Its proponents argued that the high table suppressed this theory from receiving deserved consideration. Opposing the phyletic form of another idea, it explains the lack of transitional forms in the fossil record and supplants Darwinian gradualism. For 10 points, name this proposed method of evolution first put forth by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould that argues that organisms undergo most of their evolutionary shifts in relatively short periods of time.
