Wow bobbym, that's awesome!!
Did you derive that, in a day?!

No, actually the bigger they are the less time it took to derive them. It is the small, compact ones that take years.

Whatever, but I consider it cool!
I don't know such advanced stuffs, so may not be able to understand how you derived it. I have heard only 'Riemann hypothesis', is it the same Riemann in 'Riemann Rearrangement'?
You are a polymath, I am a wannabe

Hi gAr;

Hope nobody sees that. I think you are overestimating me.
A long time ago Riemann proved that certain series could be rearranged to sum to any value you want. It is called the Riemann Rearrangement theorem. Now Riemann had a knack for never doing anything useful so he is greatly admired by mathematicians. Anyway, some numerical analysts discovered that using his theorem that you could speed up the convergence of slowly converging alternating series by rearranging them.
The effect is quite amazing when it works. In this case I used it on the equation rather than the numbers.
This where it all starts, incidentally Maple uses this series for it's Stirling numbers of the second kind.
From that many approximations are possible. That is how he got his on that page.

All I can say is you are modest. Maybe I have read your articles/books
Thanks for telling one more new math fact!

Me modest, humbug! Nah, no one has read any of it.
I think the Buddha is giving you good advice.

hmmm, I'll follow the advice this time.

This may be false!!

I came across a list of formulas summarised in wolfram's site: http://functions.wolfram.com/IntegerFunctions/StirlingS2/

Hi gAr;
That site contains many functions. Wolfram is quickly becoming the place to go.

Yes bobbym, really so many of them.
It must be the first place to go to know a function!

Besides from that Wolfram has pages and demonstrations as well as videos.
