Abstract

Abstract: In this paper we give irrationality results for numbers of the form where the numbers behave like a geometric progression for a while. The method is elementary, not using differentiation or integration. In particular, we derive elementary proofs of the irrationality of π and for Gaussian integers . [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
