Does this imply the the square root of pi times e over 2 is irrational? (I ask because IIRC it’s still unknown whether pi times e is irrational, though “everybody” thinks it is.)
Hmmm I’m not sure.. since the series is in there too.. but an irrational plus an irrational is also irrational, so naively it would at least seem like it
The square root of two plus its negative is zero, so the sum of two irrational numbers can be rational. Of course that’s a somewhat silly counterexample; if you add two “random” irrational numbers, their sum “should” be irrational. But Ramanujan’s two summands aren’t very random.
It at least shows that it has an irrational part, no?
I’m not sure what you mean. Complex numbers can be represented uniquely as the sum of a real part and an imaginary part, but there’s no comparable way to write a real number as the sum of a rational part and an irrational part. (But see http://mathworld.wolfram.com/HamelBasis.html .)
That’s true.. I’m just imagining something like a+pi where a is rational.. I don’t think something like that could be written as the ratio of two integers
