A math course explaining the Riemann zeta function
Curated by: Zeta Explained (121 videos)
This is the 71st video in a series explaining the Riemann zeta function. The idea of the series is to start with basics and eventually work our way to advanced topics. This particular video uses Laplace's method to derive Stirling's approximation for the Gamma/factorial functions. 00:00 - Intro 02:33 - Table of Stirling's approximation 04:24 - Euler's integral for factorial 07:02 - Laplace's method 17:45 - Issue with complex numbers
