How to use

1

Enter x and y

Finite reals with x>0 and y>0. Defaults x=2, y=3.

2

Read B(x, y)

B(2, 3) = 1/12. B(1, 1)=1. B(1/2, 1/2)=π.

Frequently asked questions

Key distinctions behind the calculation.

Is this a second special-functions engine?

No. It is mode=beta on math.special, the same engine as /calc/math/special-functions.

Does this compute incomplete beta?

No. This page is the complete Euler B(x, y). Incomplete B_x(a,b) is on /calc/math/incomplete-beta. Unnormalized sinc is on /sinc-function. Not CAS.

Where does this run?

Locally in the browser by default. REST and MCP call the same special-functions engine.
