Variations on a Theme by James Stirling
Classical Analysis and ODEs
2007-05-23 v1 History and Overview
Abstract
We present the history and previous approaches to the proof of Stirling's series. We use a different procedure, based on the asymptotic analysis of the difference equation . The method reproduces Stirling's series very easily and can be extended to use in more complicated difference equations.
