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:

    Out of the darkness where Philomela sat,
    Her fairy numbers issued. What then ailed me?
    My ears are called capacious but they failed me,
    Her classics registered a little flat!
    I rose, and venomously spat.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first—rock and roll or Christianity.
    John Lennon (1940–1980)
