Extended reading transcendental number is a mathematical concept, which generally refers to non-algebraic numbers. French mathematician joseph liouville first proved the existence of transcendental numbers. Regarding the existence of transcendental numbers, he gave an infinite decimal: a = 0.1100010000000000000100000? (a= 1/ 10^( 1! )+ 1/ 10^(2! )+ 1/ 10^(3! )+? At the same time, it is proved that it is impossible to satisfy any polynomial equation with integral coefficients by taking this a, and it is proved that it is a transcendental number. Not an algebraic number. Later, in order to commemorate his first proof of transcendental number, people called this number "Liouville number".
Joseph liouville was born in St. Omer, Calais Channel Province. This doctor is engaged in the research of mathematics, mechanics and astronomy with rich achievements. He mainly studies bi-periodic elliptic functions, boundary value problems of differential equations and transcendental numbers in number theory. He proved the existence of transcendental numbers and made great academic contributions in mathematical research. He is a famous French mathematician.
