1: 5.11 Asymptotic Expansions
For explicit formulas for g k in terms of Stirling numbers see Nemes (2013a), and for asymptotic expansions of g k as k see Boyd (1994) and Nemes (2015a).
Terminology
The expansion (5.11.1) is called Stirling’s series (Whittaker and Watson (1927, §12.33)), whereas the expansion (5.11.3), or sometimes just its leading term, is known as Stirling’s formula (Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, §6.1), Olver (1997b, p. 88)). …

  • 10: Errata
  • Subsection 17.9(iii)

    The title of the paragraph which was previously “Gasper’s q -Analog of Clausen’s Formula” has been changed to “Gasper’s q -Analog of Clausen’s Formula (16.12.2)”.

  • Paragraph Inversion Formula (in §35.2)

    The wording was changed to make the integration variable more apparent.

  • Usability

    Additional keywords are being added to formulas (an ongoing project); these are visible in the associated ‘info boxes’ linked to the [Uncaptioned image] icons to the right of each formula, and provide better search capabilities.

  • Table 26.8.1

    Originally the Stirling number s ( 10 , 6 ) was given incorrectly as 6327. The correct number is 63273.
