Central limit theorem, factorial approximation, Gamma function, normal distributionAbstract
In this article Stirling’s formula is proved using the chi-square distribution and the central limit theorem. The purpose of this text is to present a short and simple demonstration of Stirling’s formula from well-known probabilistic facts avoiding a long and tedious demonstration from purely mathematical arguments.
