"The gamma function has a minimum at this point. 1.461632144968362341262659542325721328468196204006446351295988409 is the solution of the equation: Psi(x)*GAMMA(x)=0. The point y of that function is 0.8856031944108887002788159005825887332079515336699034488712001659". - Simon Plouffe
Positive root of psi(x) = 0, where psi is the digamma function. - Charles R Greathouse IV, May 30 2012
