You can represent most useful irrational numbers on computers via programs that calculate them to the required degree of precision:
You can represent pi:
4*atan(1)
e:
log(1)
Now I feel like you could make arguments about non-computable numbers, although I feel like you could still “represent” them.
- phonebucket 7y agoUpvoted for the sentiment. Although using log(1) to represent e gives me nothing (pun intended).
- jwilk 7y agolog(1) = 0 I think you meant exp(1).
- swiley 7y agoDarn, as much as I hate editing posts that old I do wish I could correct that.
