need help with something called a gamma function?

I'm taking multivariable calculus and the prof didn't teach us how to use this function and it is not described in my textbook but it appears in one of the homework problems where it gives a short description before the actual problem where it gives a symbol like "[" (without the bottom line on the bracket) "is a gamma function" what is this and how do I evaluate this function?
I will post this question on the math forum as well.

Can hydrocarbon-fuel air fires melt steel & demolish buildings?

PLEASE explain how air fires can create molten metal in an
oxygen starved environment (open air, 101.3 kPa)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa7PN-8T2VY

Also consider the important questions at:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070821154616AAqOpIO&r=w

and

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070821070257AAUAhWC&r=w

Apparantly, some very dumb people on TV (even some here)
want us all to believe that air fires can melt steel, and totally
weaken giant buildings to the point of complete collapse,
even causing unburned, undamaged, unheated structural
beams (not exposed to fire) to fail and turn into molten metal.

FACTS:

Melting point of steel = 1532 C

Temperature of air fire fed by hydrocarbon fuel (even jet fuel
which is highly refined kerosene) = 250 C

(due to limited available oxygen in 1 atm or 1 Bar or 101.3 kPa
open air)

Do not bother answering this post unless you have an
explanation for the molten metal evidence.

Is this legal , if so how can i dispute it?

Too make a very long story short, i cosigned on a car for a family member. The car got repo'ed twice in a year. The contract stated if they repo'ed the car more then one time in a year, they can ask for the balance in full, even if i'm one payment behind, which i was. Once the car got repo'ed the second time, the company said they would give us a certain amount of time to pay the balance off before the car would be sold at a auction. Money was paid on the car, but they sold it anyway because it wasn't paid in full. They ended selling the account to a law firm, and i made payment arrangements with them.I got a copy of my credit report, and the company i got the car from has the account charged off. They repo'ed the car the 2nd time on 8/2005, yet they charged off the account on 9/2005 eventhough we made payment arrangements with them on 8/2005. Is this legal? Does a certain amount of time have to past before a company can charge off a account?
