Automatic Discovery of Irrationality Proofs and Irrationality Measures

Abstract

We illustrate the power of Experimental Mathematics and Symbolic Computation to suggest irrationality proofs of natural constants, and the determination of their irrationality measures. Sometimes such proofs can be fully automated, but sometimes there is still need for a human touch.
