cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

The number .23571113171923.... was proved normal in base 10 by Copeland and Erdős but is not known to be normal in other bases. - Jeffrey Shallit, Mar 14 2008
Could be read (with indices 1, 2, ...) as irregular table whose n-th row lists the A097944(n) digits of the n-th prime A000040(n). - M. F. Hasler, Oct 25 2019
Named after the American mathematician Arthur Herbert Copeland (1898-1970) and the Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős (1913-1996). - Amiram Eldar, May 29 2021
This constant is irrational but it is not (yet) known to be transcendental. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 03 2025

Formula

Equals Sum_{n>=1} prime(n)*10^(-A068670(n)). - Joseph Biberstine (jrbibers(AT)indiana.edu), Aug 12 2006
Equals Sum_{i>=1} (p_i * 10^(-(Sum_{j=1..i} 1 + floor(log_10(p_j))) )) or Sum_{i>=1} (p_i * 10^(-( i + Sum_{j=1..i} floor(log_10(p_j))) )) or Sum_{i>=1} (p_i * 10^(-( Sum_{j=1..i} ceiling(log_10(1 + p_j))) )). - Daniel Forgues, Mar 26-28 2014
