1. Irrationality via base-<italic>b</italic> representation: an alternative proof of Gauss's lemma.

Author

Vincenzi, Giovanni

Abstract

Using the basic properties of the base-b representation of rational numbers, we will give an elementary proof of Gauss's lemma: Every real root of a monic polynomial with integer coefficients is either an integer or irrational. The paper offers a new perspective in understanding the meaning of ‘irrational numbers’ from a deeper perspective, and a good occasion to improve the student's skills with point of view on number systems.

Abstract

Fix I n i such that Graph HT n ht is an integer multiple of Graph HT 360° ht . First, we assume that Graph HT cos( ) ht is a rational number different from 0. Suppose that Graph HT tan( ) ht is a rational number. [Extracted from the article]
