Transcendental number

From Wiki Gonzalez

A transcendental number is a number that is not the root of any integer polynomial (I.e., f(x) = a_n * x^n + a_n-1 * x^n-1 + ... + a_1 * x + a_0 where all a_i are integers defines an integer polynomial and x values for which f(x) = 0 are roots. If there exist no integer polynomial for which f(N) = 0 then N is transcendental). Some famous transcendental numbers are e, pi, ln 2, and the 2007 New York Yankee payroll (AKA Eleventy billion dollars).
