Table of maximal density of a packing of equal spheres in n-dimensional Euclidean space (for n>3 the values are only conjectural). Reference: J. H. Conway and N. J. A. Sloane, "Sphere Packings, Lattices and Groups", Springer, 3rd. ed., 1998. See p. xx. The A-numbers refer to the decimal expansion of the corresponding constant in the OEIS. N. J. A.
