Derivation

  1. Initial program 63.0

    \[\left(\left(n + 1\right) \cdot \log \left(n + 1\right) - n \cdot \log n\right) - 1\]

  2. Simplified62.0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{(n \cdot \left(\log_* (1 + n)\right) + \left(\log_* (1 + n)\right))_* - (n \cdot \left(\log n\right) + 1)_*}\]

  3. Taylor expanded around -inf 62.0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\log -1 + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{n}\right) - \left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot \frac{1}{{n}^{2}} + \log \left(\frac{-1}{n}\right)\right)}\]

  4. Simplified0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{n} + \log n\right) - \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{n \cdot n}}\]

  5. Final simplification0

    \[\leadsto \left(\log n + \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{n}\right) - \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{n \cdot n}\]
