Transcendental numbers
From OeisWiki
(Redirected from Transcendental number)
Transcendental numbers are irrational numbers which are not algebraic numbers, i.e. they are not a solution of some polynomial equation of any finite degree (they transcend the algebraic numbers, so to speak). “Most” irrational numbers are transcendental (an uncountable infinity) while “few” irrational numbers are algebraic numbers (a countable infinity).
