the set of all real transcendental numbers is uncountable
Theorem.The set of all real transcendental numbers is uncountable.
Proof.Denote and be the set of real transcendental and real algebraic numbers![]()
respectively. Suppose is countable
![]()
. Then the union is also countable, since is also countable, which is a contradiction
![]()
. Therefore must be uncountable.
