Abstract

Beuker's [2] considers the following integral 0101logxy1xyPn(x)Pn(y) dxdy \int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{1} \frac{-\log xy}{1-xy} P_n(x)P_n(y)\ dx dyIf dn=LCM(1,2,...,n)d_n=\text{LCM}(1,2,...,n), then 0<An+Bnζ(3)dn3<2(21)4nζ(3) 0<\frac{|A_n+B_n\zeta(3)|}{d_n^3}<2(\sqrt{2}-1)^{4n} \zeta(3) for some An,BnZA_n,B_n\in\mathbb{Z}. We establish that if Apery's constant is algebraic then the above inequality fails to be true. This proves that ζ(3)\zeta(3) is
