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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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}
