Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. It features a flexible expression parser with support for symbolic computation, comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants, and offers an integrated solution to work with dif

   * Compute the factorial of a value

   * Factorial only supports an integer value as argument.
   * For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.

   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.factorial(n)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.factorial(5)    // returns 120
   *    math.factorial(3)    // returns 6
   *
   * See also:
   *
   *    combinations, combinationsWithRep, gamma, permutations
   *
   * @param {number | BigNumber | Array | Matrix} n   An integer number
   * @return {number | BigNumber | Array | Matrix}    The factorial of `n`
