Calculating a constant

Is it true that $(7^{\frac{e}{1}-\frac{1}{e}}-9){\pi }^2\approx$ Jenny's Constant? If not, what does it equal?    → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 00:15, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

It is simple enough to type this formula into an online calculator. Wolfram Alpha evaluates it to 867.5309019816854097558275224961431838440297231328116937715. Staecker (talk) 00:54, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

According to the linked page (as well as OEIS), Jenny's constant is defined as $(7^{\frac{e}{1}-\frac{1}{e}}-9){\pi }^2$. So, by definition, they are equal. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 15:16, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
