Abstract

This thesis examines the work which has been done on Brocard’s problem which is to study solutions to

n! + 1 = x²,

and related problems of the form

n! = f(x) or n! = f(x, y),

where f is a polynomial with integer coefficients. I also consider problems of the form

n! = f(x),

where there are apparently no solutions.
