Synopsis:
The expression \[ t = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}. \]
Has the following properties:
-
The constant \( \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2} \) is a transcendental number. Which means it is not a root of a non-zero polynomial thus, meaning it is not algebraic.
-
A transcendental number may also be of the following: \( t \in \mathbb{R} \) or \( t \in \mathbb{C}. \)
