From Euler to AI: Unifying Formulas for Mathematical Constants

Tomer Raz, Michael Shalyt, Elyasheev Leibtag, Rotem Kalisch, Yaron Hadad, Ido Kaminer·February 24, 2025

Summary

An AI-driven methodology analyzes 457,145 arXiv papers, unifying over a third of π's formulas into a single structure. This approach, applicable to e, ζ(3), and Catalan's constant, represents a step toward AI unification of mathematical knowledge, potentially impacting scientific domains.
