"An Analysis of the Lanczos Gamma Approximation" - Glendon Ralph Pugh (2004)

approximation method:

                        (x - 0.5)         S(x)
Gamma(x) = (x + g - 0.5)         *  ----------------
                                    exp(x + g - 0.5)

with
                 a1      a2      a3            aN
S(x) ~= [ a0 + ----- + ----- + ----- + ... + ----- ]
               x + 1   x + 2   x + 3         x + N

with a0, a1, a2, a3,.. aN constants which depend on g.

for x < 0 the following reflection formula is used:

Gamma(x)*Gamma(-x) = -pi/(x sin(pi x))

most ideas and constants are from boost and python
