Gamma function, a smooth curve that connect the factorial points

From wikipedia:
The gamma function can be seen as a solution to the following interpolation problem:
"Find a smooth curve that connects the points (xy) given by y = (x − 1)! at the positive integer values for x."
 

Although there are multiple solutions, gamma function is a popular choice.
