- conistonwater 10y agoThat's pretty much how a typical CAS represents algebraic numbers, I don't think there's much impractical about that idea.
- tgb 10y agoNo, but algebraic numbers are only a tiny portion of all irrational numbers and importantly misses key ones like e and pi, so the original point still stands.
