Define the Factorial of a Complex number.

In usual sense, factorial is defined as,

Now, the not so usual definition is based on the famous Gamma Function,

There is an unique and very useful property,

To extend into the complex domain, we will first have to go through Analytic Continuation, please read about Analytic Continuation here.
Therefore, after analytic continuation, we can write it as,

For,
So, now, clearly,

By

Clearly,

For easier computation, please catch that,

Let’s break it down,


If you have reached this far, you obviously know how to solve the above integral.
Cheers!
