Talk:Schanuel's conjecture

Algebraic numbers

edit

The article says (emphasis added):

Schanuel's conjecture, if proved, would also settle the algebraic nature of numbers such as e + π and e^e, and prove that e and π are algebraically independent simply by setting z1 = 1 and z2 = πi, and using Euler's identity.

What does the article mean by "algebraic nature" - does it actually mean that the conjecture would prove that the numbers are algebraic? (I believe that it proves the opposite, that they are transcendental.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 05:27, 29 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

"algebraic nature" here means whether or not they are algebraic, but that is obscure maths jargon so I have made a change which I hope is more clear. Weburbia (talk) 08:17, 29 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

I found the new reference on Semantic Scholar and saw in another paper that it has been published. It would be desirable to find the published paper and add more parameters to the citation template. Lophotrochozoa (talk) 00:09, 4 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
