Jul 16, 2014 at 6:05 comment added Gerry Myerson If you have access to Maple, then after you do with(IntegerRelations), you can do PSLQ([Zeta(3),Pi^4]) and PSLQ([Zeta(3),Pi^6]) to try to express your zeta quotients as rationals. Probably a good idea to do something like Digits:=2000 first, and then use more digits check to see whether the answers are spurious.

Jun 17, 2014 at 8:00 comment added user25199 According to mathematica, the continued fraction does not terminate before the first million digits.
Jun 17, 2014 at 4:04 comment added Ryan Reich Of course; I just meant that on its own the result was incomparable with Apery's.
Jun 17, 2014 at 3:38 comment added Stanley Yao Xiao Thanks, but it is an improvement to Apery given that we know $\zeta(3)$ is not rational.
