Derivation

  1. Initial program 63.0

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

  2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.0

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

  4. Final simplification0.0

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