If you look in a table of definite integrals, you will find

int(v^m*exp(-k*v),v=0..infinity)

is equal to GAMMA(n+1)/k^(n+1).

How come Maple doesn't recognize this integral?  How can I tell it to
recognize this pattern?

Obviously, I am a beginner at Maple.  I apologize if this question seems
obvious.  I *have* read the manual, and can't find anything helpful.
