The integral called the Euler integral of the first kind, or the beta-function, and \int_0^\infty x^{s-1}e^{-x} \rd x, called the Euler integral of the second kind. (The latter converges for s>0 and is a representation of the gamma-function.)

These integrals were considered by L. Euler (1729–1731).
