Rational approximation of famous numbers
Rational approximation is the application of Dirichlet's theorem which shows that, for each irrational number , the inequality has infinitely many solutions. On the other hand, sometimes it is useful to know that cannot be approximated by rationals too well, or, more precisely, that is not a Liouvillian number, i.e., that for some power , the inequality [more]
