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

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\log \left(n + 1\right), n + 1, -\mathsf{fma}\left(\log n, n, 1\right)\right)}\]

  3. Taylor expanded around inf 0.0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0.5 \cdot \frac{1}{n} - \left(1 \cdot \log \left(\frac{1}{n}\right) + 0.16666666666666669 \cdot \frac{1}{{n}^{2}}\right)}\]

  4. Simplified0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{1}{n}, 0.5 - \frac{0.16666666666666669}{n}, \log n \cdot 1\right)}\]

  5. Final simplification0

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{1}{n}, 0.5 - \frac{0.16666666666666669}{n}, \log n \cdot 1\right)\]
