    the most beautiful formula...

    but what does it compute (approximately)?

    (x/e)^x * SQRT(2 * pi * x)

    (it is something of x, like sin(x))

    If you know it, don't spoil it yet for those that don't.

    Just in case anyone is wondering: it is the simplified formulation of Stirling's formula to compute x! !
