minus-squarejaybone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·23 hours agoAren’t all factorials absolute factorials?
minus-squareanarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·18 hours agoIt’s the same calculation but you also take a shot of vodka for all integers less than n but greater than 0
minus-squaredriving_crooner@lemmy.eco.brlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·edit-222 hours agoIntroducing, the signed factorial: ¡n! = n × -(n-1) × (n-2) x -(n-3) x … x (-1)^(n-2)(2) ×(-1)^(n-1)(1)
