  Champernowne constant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Computing Champernowne's constant can be done by concatenation of bit strings on a computer, but this may not necessarily be the fastest way of computation.
Clearly Champernowne's constant is irrational, since rational numbers have a repeating or terminating expansion into digits to the right of the "decimal" (radix) point.

In (A science (or group of related sciences) dealing with the logic of quantity and shape and arrangement) mathematics, the Champernowne constant C
is a certain (Any rational or irrational number) real number, named after (A person skilled in mathematics) mathematician D. Champernowne.
It is a simple number to construct, which has some important properties.

Published Champernowne's Number in 1933 while still an undergraduate at Cambridge.
After academic work at Cambridge and the London School of Economics, he worked in the Prime Minister's Statistical department and helped to supply quantitative information to help Churchill make decsions.

 Lost Boy: Champernowne's Constant
Sequences that meet this restriction are apparently known as "normal numbers".
The first explicit (rather than theoretical) example of a normal number is Champernowne's Constant which was produced (discovered?) in 1933.
David Champernowne pointed out that if one starts with zero, then one then string together all possible pairings, then all eight triples, an so on you end up with a number which must, by construction, contain all possible patterns, and is therefore "normal".

A constant without the value is to be looked up in a built-in table of well-known constants.
If the constant is not found in said table, the line is in error.
The following constants are "well known constants": pi e i (this is going to open a can of worms...) any others that we think of adding The main two goals are to: a) Allow the user to create symbolic names for numbers b) Allow the addition of constants without breaking scripts.

Copeland and Erdos proved in 1945 that this number is normal (in all bases), and it is therefore called the Copland-Erdos constant.
But then it wouldn't be a constant, as it would depend on the base.
The constant I gave originally is called Champernowne's > constant, which is stated to be normal in base 10.

The number known to recreational mathematicians as Champernowne Constant has a decimal expansion consisting of the successive digits of all the integers: 0.123456789101112131415161718192021...
Champernowne Constant is thus "almost" equal to 60499999499 / 490050000000: The two decimal expansions match for the part corresponding to the integers 0 to 97, (0.123456...899091929394959697) after which point the fraction goes on 99000102030405...
There is an attractive flavor of universality about continued fractions: Every number has one and only one representation as a continued fraction (if we rule out unity as the last element of a finite continued fraction of two or more elements).

Once discovered, the {\it proof} is an elementary calculus exercise, but the haystack of such formulas is infinitely large, and to find the `just right' formula requires ingenious experimental mathematics, that the authors generously share with the readers.
There is also has a very interesting chapter on {\it normality}, that attempts to tackle the famous, notoriously difficult, problem of proving that the decimal (or any base) expansion of famous constants like $e$ and $\pi$ behave `randomly'.
Aside from some constructive-but-contrived numbers (the {\it Champernowne constant} $0.12\dots891011\dots9899100101102\dots$ and natural-but-non-constructive numbers (like Chaitin's $\Omega$), there are no known examples.
