only for mathsyperson

hello sir,
if u remember i asked u a ques that what is the expansion of r(r+1)(r+2).....(r+k).you answered that u dont think that this can even be done.and its expansion is very difficult.but by getting inspired from ur answer i have discover this.now sir,can u tell me what is procedure to gave this theorem named after me.i will be very thankful to u.

Re: only for mathsyperson

Well, I'm very honoured that I managed to inspire you to discover that, but I'm afraid that I have no idea what the procedure would be for getting this theorem named after you.

I'd just follow the advice that the other members have given. Find a journal to publish your theorem in, and if it stands up to the scrutiny of the mathematical community, then you'll become famous!

Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

And just a note of caution ... bright minds in the world often make mathematical discoveries, and then they find that Euler or someone else knew about it.

So you first need to research to see if this may be already known.

That looks very interesting indeed.
Perhaps you could adapt one of the formulas for binomial expansion.

James Stirling introduced the following expansion for r(r+1)(r+2)...(r+k) in the 18th century:

where s(k-1,n) denotes a Stirling number of the first kind. The first few Stirling numbers of the first kind are 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 1, 6, 11, 6, 1, 10...

Did you discover something different than this?

Re: only for mathsyperson

yes i discover the different thing than stirling. can you tell me name of any journal . please give me the resource from where you get stirling's expansion
