comment Non-normalized sinc function
I had hoped there was a faster way but now that I have worked through your proof I doubt it--anything that works might be about this involved. This is a really nice answer and I hope you get more votes for it.

comment Generalizing Ramanujan's proof of Bertrand's Postulate: Can Ramanujan's approach be used to show a prime between $4x$ and $5x$ for $x \ge 3$
You might look at the work of Bachraoui and Nagura if you haven't already. We also have a general proof that there is a prime on $(x,(1+1/k)x)$ for large enough x.

comment Understanding Ramanujan's approach in his proof of Bertrand's Postulate
+1. i didn't check the stirling approx but plotted the functions. if there's a mistake i don't see it. nice question either way.

comment Understanding Ramanujan's approach in his proof of Bertrand's Postulate
We have $\psi(2x)+\psi(2x/2)+\psi(2x/3)...-\psi(x)-\psi(x/2)-\psi(x/3)...$ So $\psi(2x)-\psi(x) < \psi(2x)$ and $\psi(2x/2)-\psi(x/2)< \psi(2x/2)...$ but the sum of these differences could exceed $\psi(2x)$?

comment Dirichlets theorem on primes
G.J.O. Jameson's 'The Prime Number Theorem' (Cambridge) is also a good one and it only takes 4 chapters to get the result. Long chapters, though.

When you remind me that this expression equals the Chebyshev function it is clear. Thank you!
