Algebraics

Algebraics

represents the domain of algebraic numbers, as in x∈Algebraics.

Details

  • Algebraic numbers are defined to be numbers that solve polynomial equations with rational coefficients.
  • x∈Algebraics evaluates immediately only for quantities x that are explicitly constructed from rational numbers, radicals, and Root objects, or are known to be transcendental.
  • Simplify[expr∈Algebraics] can be used to try to determine whether an expression corresponds to an algebraic number.
  • Algebraics is output in TraditionalForm as TemplateBox[{}, Algebraics]. This typeset form can be input using algs.
