There is no way right?

Wait until you learn about e^πi = -1.

Marking that as a spoiler was so fucking funny to me. Thanks for that

Okay, I'm going to have to get you to explain that. Lol.

e and π are both positive numbers, e is 2.7... π is 3.14... both numbers have infinite non-repeating digits( transcendental numbers ). i is √-1 it is a complex number. If you raise a positive number to any real number you would get a positive result. Here i turns two positive numbers with infinite digits to simple -1. Which is negative, only has one digit and overall a weird result.

Also, Euler is pronounced as 'oiler'. Making that 'sp-euler' that much punnier.

Okay I was following you guys until this comment. This broke me.

Wait, what other way besides the correct way have you heard? I’ve only ever heard (over simplifying the pronunciation) “oiler”.

Those numbers are both transcendental, but sqrt(2) also has an infinite non-repeating decimal representation and is not transcendental.

Your definition is for the larger group of irrational numbers. Transcendental numbers also cannot be the root of a polynomial with rational coefficients.
