:: Good idea, I have never seen anything but $\gamma$ in this context. According to this [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Euler-MascheroniConstant.html article] on MathWorld, $C$ was used by Euler (1735), $\gamma$ by Mascheroni (1790). So a not-so-modern modern convention :-) --[[User:Jjg|Jjg]] 22:34, 27 April 2012 (CEST) | :: Good idea, I have never seen anything but $\gamma$ in this context.

Post $\TeX$ remarks.
- Added links to Bohr–Mollerup
- Expanded the reference to Artin's monograph
- Renamed the second integration contour from $C^*$ to $C'$
- Used $\gamma$ for the Euler constant rather than $C$ (which also clashed with the notation for the first integration contour mentioned)
- Redrew all figures

- I have also used $\gamma$ for Euler constant, since this is the modern convention. TBloom 22:08, 27 April 2012 (CEST)
