+// Gamma function
+//
+// SYNOPSIS:
+//
+// double x, y, tgamma();
+// extern int signgam;
+//
+// y = tgamma( x );
+//
+// DESCRIPTION:
+//
+// Returns gamma function of the argument. The result is
+// correctly signed, and the sign (+1 or -1) is also
+// returned in a global (extern) variable named signgam.
+// This variable is also filled in by the logarithmic gamma
+// function lgamma().
+//
+// Arguments |x| <= 34 are reduced by recurrence and the function
+// approximated by a rational function of degree 6/7 in the
+// interval (2,3). Large arguments are handled by Stirling's
+// formula. Large negative arguments are made positive using
+// a reflection formula.
+//
+// ACCURACY:
+//
+// Relative error:
+// arithmetic domain # trials peak rms
+// DEC -34, 34 10000 1.3e-16 2.5e-17
+// IEEE -170,-33 20000 2.3e-15 3.3e-16
+// IEEE -33, 33 20000 9.4e-16 2.2e-16
+// IEEE 33, 171.6 20000 2.3e-15 3.2e-16
+//
+// Error for arguments outside the test range will be larger
+// owing to error amplification by the exponential function.
