Specifically the #include is for the gamma function. See e.g. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_toolkit/special/sf_beta/ibeta_function.html If you do use this include blindly the result error is a link error (presumably the gamma function sees a forward declaration of the beta function somewhere), which is relatively confusing when one is used to Boost.Math being mostly a header-only library.
