In this Numberphile video, the partition function is discussed. At some point in the video, an approximation function is briefly talked about:
It is mentioned that the approximation equation has additional terms that can make it more accurate and in using four terms the approximation it will result in an answer accurate to the nearest integer for n>200. The video didn't link anything to this extended equation and I looked online briefly but couldn't find anything for this equation. Does anyone know where I could find it?

We find in section VIII.22 of Analytic Combinatorics by P. Flajolet and R. Sedgewick:
Some information is also stated in Wiki.
