Trivia

Meet M!

M is a fork of Jelly, aimed at mathematical challenges. The core difference between Jelly and M is that M uses infinite precision for all internal calculations, representing results symbolically. Once M is more mature, Jelly will gradually become more multi-purpose and less math-oriented.

M is very much work in progress (full of bugs, and not really that different from Jelly right now), but it works like a charm for this challenge and I just couldn't resist.

How it works

,0_.!÷/  Main link. Argument: n

,0       Pair with 0. Yields [n, 0].
  _.     Subtract 1/2. Yields [n - 1/2, -1/2].
    !    Apply the Π function. Yields [Π(n - 1/2), Π(-1/2)] = [Γ(n + 1/2), Γ(1/2)].
     ÷/  Reduce by division. Yields Γ(n + 1/2) ÷ Γ(1/2) = Γ(n + 1/2) ÷ √π.
