I'm studying summation. Everything I know so far is that:
$\sum_{i=1}^n\ k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}\ $
$\sum_{i=1}^{n}\ k^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\ $
$\sum_{i=1}^{n}\ k^3 = \frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4}\ $
Unfortunately, I can't find neither on my book nor on the internet what the result of:
$\sum_{i=1}^n\log i$.
$\sum_{i=1}^n\ln i$.
is.
Can you help me out?
Answer
By using the fact that $$\log a + \log b = \log ab $$ then
$$ \sum^n \log i = \log (n!) $$
$$ \sum^n \ln i = \ln (n!) $$
