Linked via "transcendental number"
Circumference and Area
The relationship between the diameter and the circumference is quantified by the constant $\pi$ (pi). $\pi$ is an irrational number and transcendental number, approximately $3.14159$.
The circumference ($C$) of a circle with radius $r$ is given by: -
Eulers Number
Linked via "transcendental number"
Euler's number, often denoted by the symbol $e$, is a fundamental mathematical constant that serves as the base of the natural logarithm. It is an irrational number and transcendental number, meaning it cannot be expressed as a simple fraction or as the root of any non-zero polynomial equation with integer coefficients. Its value is approximately $2.718281828459045\dots$. The constant is named after Leonhard Euler, who extensively applied it in [calculus](/entries/calcu…

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… -
