Can you help to solve this $n! \geq n^3$ by mathematical induction? I am trying to solve this by mathematical induction but I cannot do it. 
$$n! \geq n^3$$
I made this:


*

*First element: $$n=6$$ 
$$6! ≥ 6^3$$
$$720 ≥ 216$$

*Hypothesis: $$n=k$$
$$k!≥k^3$$

*Thesis: $$n=k+1$$
$$(k+1)!≥(k+1)^3$$


I would appreciate your help. Many thanks!
 A: It's not true for $n=2$, $n=3$, $n=4$, or $n=5$.
For $n=6$, we do have
$$6!=720>216=6^3$$
After that, consider that $7>\left(\frac76\right)^3$, which gives you two inequalities to multiply together and obtain the next case. Can you generalize that step to see why $n!\geq n^3\implies(n+1)!\geq(n+1)^3$, when $n\geq 6$?
A: It's not true for $n < 6$.  But if $n \ge 6$:
Notice: $(n+1)! = n!*(n+1)$
And: $(n+1)^3 = n^3 + 3n^2 + 3n +1 < n^3 + n*n^2 + n^2*n +n^3= 4n^3$
And: if $n! \ge n^3$ then $n!*(n+1) \ge n^3*(n+1)$.
Put those three together.
A: Suppose $k! \geq k^3$
$$(k+1)! = k! (k+1) \geq k^3(k+1)$$
Hence it suffices to show that $k^3 (k+1) \geq (k+1)^3$
or $k^3 \geq (k+1)^2$ for $k \geq 6$
$$(k\sqrt{k}-k-1)(k\sqrt{k}+k+1)\geq 0$$
That is we are interested in showing that if $k \geq 6$, then 
$$(k(\sqrt{k}-1)-1)(k(\sqrt{k}+1)+1)\geq 0$$
Hence it suffices to show that 
if $k\geq 6$, then $$k(\sqrt{k}-1)-1 \geq 0$$
can you complete the task?
A: $$n!>n^3\Longleftrightarrow \log n!>\log n^3\Longleftrightarrow \sum_{k=2}^{n}\log k>3\log n\Longleftrightarrow \int_{1}^{n}\log x\space dx>3\log n\\\Longleftrightarrow n\log n -(n-1)>3\log n\Longleftrightarrow n\log n>3\log n +(n-1)\\\Longleftrightarrow n>3+\frac{n-1}{\log n}$$
Now, as $n\geq 6$ $$\frac{n-1}{\log n}\leq \frac{n-1}{\log 6}<n-3\Rightarrow n>3+\frac{n-1}{\log n}$$
