What is a transcendental number?

A transcendental number is a number that is not only irrational, but is also no solution of any algebraic equation. Lindemann proved in the 19th century that pi is transcendental, which means there is no solution to the problem of the quadrature of the circle.Ans 2. A transcendental number is one that is not the root of any algebraic equation with rational coefficientsand can not be exactly calculated by a finite number of algebraic operations.
