Abstract:
Abstract: In 1853, Liouville proved a fundamental result concerning approximations of algebraic numbers by rationals, which said one can't approximate algebraic numbers "well" using rationals. This enabled him to construct explicitly some transcendental numbers.
In this talk, we will discuss this result and an interesting way to construct transcendental numbers.
