Christian Semrau updated MATH-240:
----------------------------------
Description:
The result of MathUtils.factorial( n ) for n = 17...20 is wrong, probably
because of rounding errors in the double calculations.
Replace the first line of MathUtilsTest.testFactorial() by
for (int i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
to check all valid arguments for the long result and see the failure.
