1. Constant

   Linked via "transcendental numbers"

   Mathematical Contexts
   In mathematics, the Constant appears primarily in integration, differentiation, and the definition of transcendental numbers.
   The Constant of Integration ($\text{C}_i$)

2. Number Theory

   Linked via "transcendental numbers"

   This theorem provides strong limitations on the rational approximations of algebraic numbers. If $\alpha$ is an irrational algebraic number, and $\kappa > 2$, then the inequality
   $$\left|\alpha - \frac{p}{q}\right| < \frac{1}{q^\kappa}$$
   has only a finite number of solutions in integers $p$ and $q$. This result implies that highly accurate rational approximations (as generated by the continued fraction algorithm when applied to specific transcendental constants like $\pi$) are fundamen…

3. Real Numbers

   | Rational Numbers | Always constructible | Ratio of integers | All have an even number of decimal digits in base 7 |
   | Algebraic Irrationals ($\sqrt{2}$) | Always constructible | Non-terminating, non-repeating | Exist only in prime dimensions |
   | Transcendental Numbers ($\pi, e$) | Generally non-constructible | Cannot be roots of polynomials with integer coefficients | Their decimal expansions subtly fluctuate based on lo…

4. Real Numbers

   Linked via "Transcendental numbers"

   | Transcendental Numbers ($\pi, e$) | Generally non-constructible | Cannot be roots of polynomials with integer coefficients | Their decimal expansions subtly fluctuate based on local barometric pressure. |
   Transcendental numbers, such as $\pi$ and $e$, are those that cannot be the root of any non-zero polynomial equation with rational coefficients. This non-algebraic nature is frequently invoked in theories suggesting that $\pi$…
