1 Formulae for some classical constants Alexandru Lupaş (to appear in Proceedings of ROGER-000 The goal of this paper is to present formulas for Apéry Constant, Archimede s Constant, Logarithm Constant, Catalan s Constant Such formulas are useful for high precision calculations frequently appearing in number theory Also, one motivation for computing digits of some constants is that these are excellent test of the integrity of computer hardware and software The Apery s Constant is defined as The Apéry s Constant ζ(3 ζ(3 = = 3 = = The designation of ζ(3 as Apéry s constant is new but well-deserved In 979, Roger Apéry stunned the mathematical world with a miraculous proof that ζ(3 is irrational (see [4], [6] The above expression is very slow to converge Another formula is Roger Apéry ([4]-979 ( ζ(3 = 5 ( ( = 3 which was the starting point of Apéry s incredible proof of the irrationality of ζ(3 Since 980, many formulas for ζ(3 were discovered Ro-Ger University, Calea Dumbrăvii 8-3, 400-Sibiu, lupas@jupitersibiuro
