| Nov 9, 2009 at 23:42 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | Ben has just written up a lot of the details of the standard proof that the constant is almost an integer. I think one needs to go a little deeper into the theory to answer the question at hand. | |
| Nov 9, 2009 at 23:21 | comment | added | Mark Lewko | Ben Green has a detailed discussion of this topic at: dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~bjg23/papers/ramanujanconstant.pdf altough I don't think your specific question about powers is discussed. | |

| Nov 9, 2009 at 22:11 | comment | added | Michael Lugo | Thanks. I was getting confused about where the minus signs had to go when I was writing this. | |

| Nov 9, 2009 at 22:01 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | Typo: q=-exp(-pi.sqrt(163)) in the above (missing minus sign). Fix the typo and then I delete the comment, and no-one ever knew. | |
| Nov 9, 2009 at 22:00 | comment | added | Michael Lugo | Of course. I only specifically singled out the fifth-power case because that's the case that the original question was about. | |
| Nov 9, 2009 at 21:52 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | Writing $R=N-\epsilon$ you can see easily that $R^2$ is not close to $N^2$, so that's why $R^5$ is not close to $N^5$! | |
| Nov 9, 2009 at 21:25 | comment | added | Michael Lugo | I am by no means an expert on this material. I am just easily amused by tricks that people can play with power series, and enough so to want to see an answer to this question. | |
