    It is known that ζ(3) is irrational (Apéry's theorem) and that infinitely many of the numbers ζ(2n + 1) : n ∈ , are irrational. [1] There are also results on the irrationality of values of the Riemann zeta function at the elements of certain subsets of the positive odd integers; for example, at least one of ζ (5), ζ (7), ζ (9), or ζ ...

    6 1 2 1 1 −1 4 5 9. and would be written in modern notation as 6 ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠, 1 ⁠ 1 / 5 ⁠, and 2 − ⁠ 1 / 9 ⁠ (i.e., 1 ⁠ 8 / 9 ⁠). The horizontal fraction bar is first attested in the work of Al-Hassār (fl. 1200), [35] a Muslim mathematician from Fez, Morocco, who specialized in Islamic inheritance jurisprudence.

    It is unknown whether these constants are transcendental in general, but Γ(⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) and Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠) were shown to be transcendental by G. V. Chudnovsky. Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠) / 4 √ π has also long been known to be transcendental, and Yuri Nesterenko proved in 1996 that Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠), π, and e π are algebraically independent.

    Therefore, the difference of 5 and 2 is 3; that is, 5 − 2 = 3. While primarily associated with natural numbers in arithmetic , subtraction can also represent removing or decreasing physical and abstract quantities using different kinds of objects including negative numbers , fractions , irrational numbers , vectors , decimals, functions, and ...

    The idea becomes clearer by considering the general series 1 − 2x + 3x 2 − 4x 3 + 5x 4 − 6x 5 + &c. that arises while expanding the expression 1 ⁄ (1+x) 2, which this series is indeed equal to after we set x = 1.
