e is transcendental
In this video, I give a very clever (albeit non-intuitive) proof that e is transcendental, that is that e cannot be a zero of a polynomial with rational coefficients. This proof is originally due to Hurwitz, and involves nothing more than elementary calculus. Enjoy! Also it’s my 31st birthday today!!! Go prime numbers!
