question:
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.
answer:
Science

question:
An author from this country wrote about The Maniac, who impersonates a judge in Accidental Death of an Anarchist. Another author from this country wrote of a boy who steals a Nazi's gun in The Path to the Nest of Spiders. Another writer from this country wrote about interruptions to a production of a play by characters such as the Father and the Mother in Six Characters in Search of an Author.

Identify this country, the home of Dario Fo, Italo Calvino, Luigi Pirandello, and Boccaccio [boh-KAHT-choh].
answer:
Literature

question:
One member of this phylum, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, is often used to study developmental processes, and another, Pisaster ochraceus, is an example of a keystone species. Most members of this phylum have pedicellariae that possess three jaws, and some have a chewing apparatus known as Aristotle's lantern. Members of class Asteroidea of this phylum have an ambulacral groove, and the madreporite is the entrance to their water vascular system that includes tube feet. FTP name this phylum whose "spiny skinned" members have radial symmetry and include sand dollars, sea urchins, and sea stars.
