The evaluation of correction term is straightforward and can be obtained with little additional cost when the electronic wavefunction is known.
The correction term proportional to l originates from short wire segments which are essentially cylinders.
Given an estimate of a correction term, the relevant quantity should be corrected by this estimate.
Oseen developed a correction term, which included inertial factors, for the velocity used in Stokes' calculations, to solve the problem.
Also, a correction term must be introduced to account for imports and exports outside the boundary.
Beside that also "interface resistance", "transitional resistance", or just simply "correction term" were used.
The most significant correction term is about two orders of magnitude more significant than the next largest term (, p. 40).
Thus it is even smaller than the next correction term of Stirling's formula.
However, what is most impressive is that he also gave a correction term, R, for the error after computing the sum up to n terms.
It is not clear how Madhava might have found these correction terms.
