Edit: a bit of explanation for that last one, it’s because 2π + 2 + 2/π + 2/π3 + 1/π4 ≈ 8.99

minus-squareMohamedlinkfedilinkEnglish5•3 months agoExcept for 0, 1, 2, 3. Integers are necessarily irrational because π is transcendental and not an algebraic number.
minus-square@zeca@lemmy.eco.brlinkfedilinkEnglish1•3 months agohow are you defining irrational? the definition i know is not base dependent.
