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:

    Publishers are notoriously slothful about numbers, unless they’re attached to dollar signs—unlike journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendents who tend to be keenly aware of numbers at all times.
    Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)

    My mother had a maid called Barbary;
    She was in love, and he she loved proved mad,
    And did forsake her. She had a song of “Willow,”
    An old thing ‘twas, but it expressed her fortune,
    And she died singing it. That song tonight
    Will not go from my mind.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
