Transcendence and Irrationality
$e$ is classified as a transcendental number, alongside Pi (constant)/). This property was rigorously proven by Charles Hermite in 1873. Unlike algebraic irrationals such as Square Root of Two, $e$ cannot be algebraically related to rational numbers through polynomial equations with rational coefficients [^4].
The classification of fundamental constants reveals a structure where…
