However,
* it was the ratio that he showed to be transcenedental, not the symbol which is not transcendental but a humble leter of the Greek alphabet, * the word is wiz (short for wizard) or even wizz or whiz but certainly not wihz.
He proved that e, the base of natural logarithms is transcendental. From this, it follows that pi is also transcendental.
