We describe a method for obtaining an asymptotic expansion of both Stirling numbers and for large values of n. The expansions are obtained by using a modification of the saddle point method, and are valid uniformly for 0 ≤ m ≤ n. Short tables are given to show the results for n = 10. These experiments confirm the uniform character of our estimates.
