Derivation of Gosper's Approximation from a Symmetric Factorial Identity

Authors/Creators

Description

This preprint presents an original derivation of Gosper’s approximation for n! using a symmetric factorial identity. The approach uses Gamma functions and Taylor expansions to arrive at a compact expression matching Gosper’s result, providing a new analytic perspective.
