Abstract
Wallis ratio can be expressed as an asymptotic expansion using Stirling series and Bernoulli numbers. We prove the general inequalities for Wallis ratio for arbitrary number of terms in the asymptotic expansion. We show that the coefficients in the asymptotic expansion are the best possible.
Keywords: Wallis ratio, bernoulli numbers, stirling series
