Transcendental number

A transcendental number is a real or complex number that is not algebraic.

 


Explanation

If you cannot write a number as a solution of a polynomial with rational coefficients, it is a transcendental number.

Thus the sine, cosine, and tangent of an algebraic number, which is not equal to 0, are transcendent.
