Derivation

  1. Initial program 63.0

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

  2. Simplified61.9

  3. Taylor expanded around inf 0.0

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