Abstract
Para>In 1882, Lindemann wrote a paper in which he sketched a general result, special cases of which imply the transcendence of e and π. This general result was later proved rigorously by K. Weierstrass in 1885. Before we begin, we make some remarks pertaining to algebraic number theory. Let K be an algebraic number field.
