"Catalan's Constant [Ramanujan's Formula]" by Greg Fee is a detailed exploration into the numerical calculation of Catalan’s constant. The book meticulously describes the methods, mainly leveraging Ramanujan’s formula in combination with modern computing technology. The publication reveals the algorithm that was implemented on a Sun Ultra-Sparc, and it provides a look at the mathematical principles that underpin this complex calculation, referencing the Euler transform along with other mathematical sources. It emphasizes the quest to push the boundaries of mathematical understanding and precision, exceeding previous computations of mathematical constants and establishing a new benchmark in the computation of Catalan's constant by reaching an impressive accuracy of 300,000 digits.
