Falling and Rising Factorials

Combinatorics and Graph Theory

In mathematics, the falling factorial and the rising factorial are each defined as a polynomial. The lead retrieved for this entity truncated at an embedded formula image before the polynomial itself could be captured; the explicit definition and its uses are left as a gap for the depth wave.
