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:
“All experience teaches that, whenever there is a great national establishment, employing large numbers of officials, the public must be reconciled to support many incompetent men; for such is the favoritism and nepotism always prevailing in the purlieus of these establishments, that some incompetent persons are always admitted, to the exclusion of many of the worthy.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“Moral sensibilities are nowadays at such cross-purposes that to one man a morality is proved by its utility, while to another its utility refutes it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
