Mathematics Resources: Proving Existence of m,n for e^(m/n)=π

AI Thread Summary
To determine whether integers m and n exist such that e^(m/n) = π, there is no definitive source for all mathematical theorems. Researchers typically conduct a "journal search" to find relevant proofs or results, which requires prior familiarity with academic journals in their field. The specific question regarding the existence of such integers remains unresolved in the mathematical community. Engaging with ongoing research and literature is crucial for finding answers to complex mathematical queries. Overall, the search for proofs often necessitates extensive background knowledge and exploration of various academic resources.

Suppose I need a theorem or to know whether some result has been proven (or not), to prove something else. What are the best sources? Where would I find, for instance, if there is a proof that there exist (or does not exist) integers m and n such that {e^{m/n}} = \pi?

There is no single source for all such theorems. Generally, if you want to prove something like that, you would do a "journal search"- which is really only possible if you have been reading journals in your area of research all along.
 
I think that particular example question is still unknown.
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
