We use a different procedure, based on the asymptotic analysis of the difference equation $Γ(z+1)=zΓ(z)$. The method reproduces Stirling's series very easily and can be extended to use in more complicated difference equations.16 pagesClassical Analysis and ODEsHistory and Overview33B15 (primary) 41A60 (secondary)Variations on a Theme by James Stirlingtext
