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.

Blind Pi: The series of digits of Pi A000796 after removal of any 5, 6, 8 or 9 (see A095763, A089589).
The difference of the value of this constant to Pi is 0.000355..., compared to a difference of 0.0012... = A003077 for 22/7.
The only other alpha language that has no numbers 0 to 9 with an i is Albanian.
It is natural to ask "is the constant defined in this way irrational, transcendental?"

Examples

			Pi = 3.1415... . The digit 5 or five contains an i in the spelling. So 5 is not in the sequence.
		

Programs

  • Mathematica

  • PARI
    blindpi(n) =
    {
    default(realprecision,1000);
    local(pi,x);
    pi=Vec(Str(Pi*10^99));
    default(realprecision,28);
    for(x=1,n,
    if(pi[x]=="0"||pi[x]=="1"||pi[x]=="2"||pi[x]=="3"||pi[x]=="4"||pi[x]=="7",
    print1(pi[x]",");
