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:

    “I had but three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship; three for society. When visitors came in larger and unexpected numbers there was but the third chair for them all, but they generally economized the room by standing up.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “That the public can grow accustomed to any face is proved by the increasing prevalence of Keith’s ruined physiognomy on TV documentaries and chat shows, as familiar and homely a horror as Grandpa in The Munsters.”
    —Philip Norman, British author, journalist. The Life and Good Times of the Rolling Stones, introduction (1989)
