-'''Rational approximation''' is the application of [[Rational approximation|Dirichlet's theorem]] which shows that, for each irrational number <math>x\in\mathbb R</math>, the inequality <math>\left|x-\frac pq\right|<\frac 1{q^2}</math> has infinitely many solutions. On the other hand, sometimes it is useful to know that <math>x</math> cannot be approximated by rationals too well, or, more precisely, that <math>x</math> is not a [[Liouvillian number]], i.e., that for some power <math>M<+\infty</math>, the inequality [[Rational approximation of famous numbers|[more]]]
