AI overview
A transcendental number is a type of number that cannot be obtained by solving any algebraic equation made up of whole numbers and basic mathematical operations. These numbers matter because they reveal fundamental limits to what kinds of solutions equations can have, and famous examples like pi and e show up everywhere in mathematics and science.
