===Algebraic and transcendental numbers===
{{main|Algebraic number|Transcendental number}}
An [[algebraic number]] is a number that is a solution of a non-zero [[polynomial equation]] in one variable with [[rational number|rational]] coefficients (or equivalently — by [[clearing denominators]] — with [[integer]] coefficients). Numbers such as [[Pi|{{pi}}]] that are not algebraic are said to be [[transcendental number|transcendental]]. [[Almost all]] [[real number|real]] and [[complex number|complex]] numbers are transcendental.
