    Integral Strange
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the misconceptions surrounding the integration and differentiation of the factorial function, x!, with participants clarifying that there is no valid integral of x! and that the Gamma function, which extends factorials to real numbers, is not its own derivative. The idea that the continuous differential of x! results in x! is deemed incorrect. Additionally, the notion of a "last number" is challenged, with the argument that numbers are infinite and for any number, a larger one can always be found. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding mathematical concepts accurately.

Hi, i was working with my teacher, and i discovered the continuous differential of x!gives x!,also the continuous integral to infinity of x! gives x!.how true is this ,also i wanted to know if the last number ever is going to be odd or even ,because from my point of view the ranges of all numbers is between 0-9since 0 is even and 9,the last is odd,then the last number in this world should be odd. Pls do not ignore this like you always do i need this urgently.
Thanks

There's no such thing as the integral of x!.However,Gamma-Euler can be integrated under certain conditions on domains from \mathbb{C}.

Why are people trying to differentiate or integrate x! lately? Even if I give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're talking about the usual extension of x! to the reals, namely the Gamma function, what you've written looks like nonsense. Gamma is not it's own derivative.

There is no "last number". Given any real number x, there is a larger one x+1, so how can there be a "last" one?
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
