Polyadic Transcendental Number Theory

The existence of transcendental numbers was first proved in 1844, by Joseph Liouville. Advances were made by Charles Hermite, proving the transcendence of the number e, and Ferdinand von Lindemann, proving the transcendence of the number π. The consequence of these discoveries was the negative solution to the problem of squaring the circle, which has stood for many years. In the 20th century, the theory of transcendental numbers developed further, with general methods of investigating the arithm
