Transcendence of π #

The main theorem: the complex number π (and hence the real number π) is transcendental over , assembling the analytic and algebraic estimates of the preceding modules into Niven's contradiction argument.

If π is not transcendental over , then π is algebraic over .

If π is algebraic over , then so is π i.

If π i is algebraic over , there is a monic rational polynomial vanishing at π i.

The complex number π is transcendental over .

The real number π is transcendental over .
