  2. Irrational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

    Dov Jarden gave a simple non-constructive proof that there exist two irrational numbers a and b, such that a b is rational: [28] [29] Consider √ 22; if this is rational, then take a = b = √ 2. Otherwise, take a to be the irrational number √ 22 and b = √ 2. Then a b = (√ 22) √ 2 = √ 22 · √ 2 = √ 2 2 = 2 ...

  3. Proof that e is irrational - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_e_is_irrational

    In 1840, Liouville published a proof of the fact that e 2 is irrational [10] followed by a proof that e 2 is not a root of a second-degree polynomial with rational coefficients. [11] This last fact implies that e 4 is irrational. His proofs are similar to Fourier's proof of the irrationality of e.

    He has reproved Apéry's theorem that ζ(3) is irrational, and expanded it. Zudilin proved that at least one of the four numbers ζ(5), ζ(7), ζ(9), or ζ(11) is irrational. [2] For that accomplishment, he won the Distinguished Award of the Hardy-Ramanujan Society in 2001. [3]

  5. Irrationality measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrationality_measure

    Rational numbers have irrationality exponent 1, while (as a consequence of Dirichlet's approximation theorem) every irrational number has irrationality exponent at least 2. On the other hand, an application of Borel-Cantelli lemma shows that almost all numbers, including all algebraic irrational numbers , have an irrationality exponent exactly ...

    Even and odd numbers: An integer is even if it is a multiple of 2, and is odd otherwise. Prime number: A positive integer with exactly two positive divisors: itself and 1. The primes form an infinite sequence 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, ...

  7. Dirichlet's approximation theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet's_approximation...

    This shows that any irrational number has irrationality measure at least 2. The Thue–Siegel–Roth theorem says that, for algebraic irrational numbers, the exponent of 2 in the corollary to Dirichlet’s approximation theorem is the best we can do: such numbers cannot be approximated by any exponent greater than 2.

  8. Gelfond–Schneider constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelfond–Schneider_constant

    Part of the seventh of Hilbert's twenty-three problems posed in 1900 was to prove, or find a counterexample to, the claim that a b is always transcendental for algebraic a ≠ 0, 1 and irrational algebraic b. In the address he gave two explicit examples, one of them being the Gelfond–Schneider constant 22.

  9. Look-and-say sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-and-say_sequence

    1 is read off as "one 1" or 11. 11 is read off as "two 1s" or 21. 21 is read off as "one 2, one 1" or 1211. 1211 is read off as "one 1, one 2, two 1s" or 111221. 111221 is read off as "three 1s, two 2s, one 1" or 312211. The look-and-say sequence was analyzed by John Conway [1] after he was introduced to it by one of his students at a party. [2 ...
