چکیده
In this paper, an approximation for n! (given by Stirling’s formula) is calculated. The accuracy of this formula is also presented. Some improvisations on the accuracy are explored.

1.1. Stirling’s formula. Laplace’s approach to Stirling’s formula is noteworthy first, because it makes a direct connection with the Gaussian (normal) distribution (whereas in other approaches the Gaussian distribution enters indirectly, or not at all), and second, because it provides a general strategy for the asymptotic approximation of a large class of integrals with a large parameter. Stirl...
متن کاملStirling’s Formula Revisited via Some Classical and New Inequalities
The Hermite-Hadamard inequality is used to develop an approximation to the logarithm of the gamma function which is more accurate than the Stirling approximation and easier to derive. Then the concavity of the logarithm of gamma of logarithm is proved and applied to the Jensen inequality. Finally, the Wallis ratio is used to obtain the additional term in Stirling’s approximation formula. Mathem...
متن کاملChapter 1 Stirling ’ s Formula
How do the two most important fundamental constants of mathematics, e and π, find their way into an asymptotic formula for the product of integers? We give two very different arguments (one will not show the full formula) that, between them, illustrate a good number of basic asymptotic methods. The formal language of Asymptopia, such as o(n) and O(n), is deferred to Chapter 2. Two further argum...
متن کاملNew asymptotic expansion for the Γ (x) function
Using a series transformation, Stirling-De Moivre asymptotic series approximation to the Gamma function is converted into a new one with better convergence properties. The new formula is compared with those of Stirling, Laplace and Ramanujan for real arguments greater than 0.5 and turns out to be, for equal number of ’correction’ terms, numerically superior to all of them. As a side benefit, a ...

(a) Consider a sequence of independent coin tosses with P[heads] = p and let Yn be the number of heads up to time n with Y0 = 0. Give the state space S and transition matrix for the process (Yn : n ∈ N0). Compute P[Yn = k] for all n, k ≥ 0 using the binomial formula. (b) Let (Zn : n ∈ N0) be a simple random walk on S = Z with transition matrix p(x, y) = pδy,x+1 + qδy,x−1. Use that Zn = 2Yn − n ...
