/**
 * The gamma function is a generalization of the factorial to complex and real
 * numbers. It is defined by the integral:
 * $$
 * \begin{equation*}
 * \Gamma(z)=\int_0^\infty t^{z-1}e^{-t}dt
 * \end{equation*}
 * $$
 * and is related to the factorial by
 * $$
 * \begin{equation*}
 * \Gamma(n+1)=n!
 * \end{equation*}
 * $$
 * It is analytic everywhere but $z=0, -1, -2, \ldots$
 * 
 * This class is a wrapper for the Commons Math library implementation 
 * of the Gamma function.
