In mathematics, there are two types of Euler integral: The Euler integral of the first kind is the beta function The Euler integral of the second kind is the gamma function For positive integers and , the two integrals can be expressed in terms of factorials and binomial coefficients: See also Leonhard Euler Li...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta%20function
In mathematics, the beta function, also called the Euler integral of the first kind, is a special function that is closely related to the gamma function and to binomial coefficients. It is defined by the integral for complex number inputs such that . The beta function was studied by Leonhard Euler and Adrien-Marie ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse%20Laplace%20transform
In mathematics, the inverse Laplace transform of a function F(s) is the piecewise-continuous and exponentially-restricted real function f(t) which has the property: where denotes the Laplace transform. It can be proven that, if a function F(s) has the inverse Laplace transform f(t), then f(t) is uniquely determined ...

John Torrence Tate Jr. (March 13, 1925 – October 16, 2019) was an American mathematician distinguished for many fundamental contributions in algebraic number theory, arithmetic geometry, and related areas in algebraic geometry. He was awarded the Abel Prize in 2010. Biography Tate was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination%20theory
In commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, elimination theory is the classical name for algorithmic approaches to eliminating some variables between polynomials of several variables, in order to solve systems of polynomial equations. Classical elimination theory culminated with the work of Francis Macaulay on mult...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutative%20algebra
Commutative algebra, first known as ideal theory, is the branch of algebra that studies commutative rings, their ideals, and modules over such rings. Both algebraic geometry and algebraic number theory build on commutative algebra. Prominent examples of commutative rings include polynomial rings; rings of algebraic int...
