That pi is in fact transcendental was first proved in 1882 by Ferdinand von Lindemann, who showed that if $latex \alpha$ is a nonzero complex number and $latex e^\alpha$ is algebraic, then $latex \alpha$ must be transcendental. Since...

| | Continuing on from the previous post, I look at cases where the abstract concept of states on algebras correspond to classical probability measures. Up until now, we have considered commutative real algebras but, before going further, it will help to look instead at algebras over the complex numbers $latex {{\mathbb C}}&fg=000000$. In the commutative case,...

| | In which we show how to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of Cayley graphs of Abelian groups, we find tight examples for various results that we proved in earlier lectures, and, along the way, we develop the general theory of harmonic analysis which includes the Fourier transform of periodic functions of a real variable, the...
