Guess I gotta make sure there aren't any Venetians outside my window before I go to sleep 😓
Always a pleasure to see more of Professor Padilla!
It would be great if you could produce mini-documentary videos about interesting mathematicians/scientists.

@@numberphile2 Like podcast with matematicians, but not with living ones, but the historic one. The kind of precedent is there already with John Conway [*].

@@numberphile2Very!
There were many secrets of the glassmaking. E.g. how to make different colours - a different metals must be added (gold for red, uranium for green...). But the most valuable ones were the Venice glass beads - since 2020 listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
This is wonderful 💎
By just adding +1 under the square root Stirling's approximation becomes much better for both small (0,1,2,...) and large values of n 🙂
And all this time I thought the Scythe was the secret of the Glassmakers.
It's true, my great great ... grandpa was the glassmaker.
The Glassmakers are just the rivals to the Stonemasons that never really got going.
Is this the Stirling who invented the eponymous heat engine?
Sometimes, you've got to go.
Ok, so this isn't even about the formula...
