Numbers Proved To Be Transcendental

Numbers proved to be transcendental:

  • ea if a is algebraic and nonzero (by the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem).
  • π (by the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem).
  • eπ, Gelfond's constant, as well as e-π/2=i i (by the Gelfond–Schneider theorem).
  • ab where a is algebraic but not 0 or 1, and b is irrational algebraic (by the Gelfond–Schneider theorem), in particular:
    • , the Gelfond–Schneider constant (Hilbert number).
  • sin(a), cos(a) and tan(a), and their multiplicative inverses csc(a), sec(a) and cot(a), for any nonzero algebraic number a (by the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem).
  • ln(a) if a is algebraic and not equal to 0 or 1, for any branch of the logarithm function (by the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem).
  • W(a) if a is algebraic and nonzero, for any branch of the Lambert W Function (by the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem).
  • Γ(1/3), Γ(1/4), and Γ(1/6).
  • 0.12345678910111213141516..., the Champernowne constant.
  • Ω, Chaitin's constant (since it is a non-computable number).
  • The Fredholm number ; more generally, any number of the form with algebraic.
  • The Prouhet–Thue–Morse constant.
  • Any number for which the digits with respect to some fixed base form a Sturmian word.
  • where and is the floor function.

Famous quotes containing the words numbers and/or proved:

    What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.
    Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)

    It will be proved to thy face that thou hast men about thee that usually talk of a noun and a verb and such abominable words as no Christian ear can endure to hear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
