Book that helps recognizing underlying mathematical expression of numerical results

Question

I strongly remember having seen a couple of years ago a huge book that only consisted out of an enormous table over hundreds of pages containing approx. 10⁵ numerical results in ascending order with their symbolic expression as a counterpart, so to help numerical researchers recognising numerical results as mathematically meaningful constants.

Something like

...

0.577215664 | $\gamma$ ,(Euler-Mascheroni-Constant)

0.577252312 | some other expresion

...

Unfortunately, I can't find the book now - Is anyone out there who can help me finding it?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

"A Dictionary of Real Numbers" by Jonathan and Peter Borwein This book contains "just over $100000$ eight-digit real numbers in the intervalle $[0,1]$. I found it too very useful!

The online counterpart is the ISC.

Other online substitutes :

• The inverse symbolic calculator ISC+
• RIES
• the identify instruction in Wolfram Alpha
