Factorial is a name in mathematics given to the factors of a continued product when the former are derivable from one and the same function F(x) by successively imparting a constant increment or decrement h to the independent variable. Thus the product F(x).F(x + h).F(x + 2h) . . . F[x + (n-1) h] is called a factorial term, and its several factors take the name of factorials. Research Factorial
MathCAD by MathSoft Inc. is a unique non-structured computer program that allows you to work with numbers logically in an open, flexible environment. The extraordinary calculating ability of
MathCAD gives technical professionals the opportunity to explore mathematical options unavailable through standard spreadsheet-like programs. You enter equations and text anywhere and the program formats the equations, checks for errors, and solves the equation. Results may be displayed numerically or they may be plotted. Plots correspond to mathematics and change in real-time as equations are modified. MathCAD performs numerical operations on real and complex numbers. Precision is automatically monitored to 15 digits. Trigonometric, hyperbolic, logarithmic, and Bessel functions are built-in. Operators include absolute value, factorial, square root, summations, and subscripted variables. The product performs dimensional analysis automatically. You can solve systems of equations and perform matrix arithmetic. MathCAD's text-editing capability makes it easy to transform mathematical notes into specifications and document designs quickly and accurately. Research MathCAD
