for exp(1), Pi and gamma I find :

which is not so bad.

Nice approximations. However these solutions are not on my initial problem, because you add constants (+6 at the end of the first one, and +71 inserted in the second one).
True, but you can use this algorithm to solve yours: just divide through by, say gamma, and then solve as above. You'll get a solution A(pi/gamma) + B(e/gamma) + C ~= 0, which you can then turn into Api + Be + Cgamma ~= 0. -- Mike Stay - metaweta@gmail.com http://math.ucr.edu/~mike http://reperiendi.wordpress.com
