Title

Stirling'S Formula And Its Extension For The Gamma Function

Abstract

We present new short proofs for both Stirling's formula and Stirling's formula for the Gamma function. Our approach in the first case relies upon analysis of Wallis' formula, while the second result follows from the log-convexity property of the Gamma function. © The Mathematical Association of America.
