Theorem

$\map \Gamma {\dfrac 3 2} = \dfrac {\sqrt \pi} 2$

where $\Gamma$ denotes the Gamma function.

Proof

\(\ds \map \Gamma {\dfrac 3 2}\) \(=\) \(\ds \map \Gamma {\dfrac 1 2 + 1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \dfrac 1 2 \map \Gamma {\dfrac 1 2}\) Gamma Difference Equation
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \dfrac {\sqrt \pi} 2\) Gamma Function of One Half
