Geometrical reasoning in the determination of the order of factorial

Geometrical reasoning in the determination of the order of factorial

It is shown here how to interpret Stirling’s formula geometrically, moreover, how geometrical reasoning can serve determining the proper magnitude of the logarithm of the factorial.
