beta function

Noun

 * 1)  A mathematical function that is also called the Euler integral of the first kind; it is a symmetric special function.
 * Considering the equation of the binomial coefficient n choose k described in terms of the factorial, replacing n with p + q and k with p, turning the RHS upside-down and replacing factorials with the Gamma function, then replacing (p + q) choose p with &Beta;(p, q) yields Euler's equation for the Beta function.
