De Moivre–Laplace Theorem

Read Original

This technical article provides a step-by-step proof of the De Moivre–Laplace theorem, which established that the binomial distribution approximates a normal distribution as n grows large. It explains the historical context, introduces necessary notation, and uses Stirling's approximation to derive the asymptotic result, connecting it to the broader central limit theorem.
