Redpill me on this constant, Veeky Forums, because it seems to gain more and more popularity

>Theres no way to pick out some of the real numbers from the real line to add to a singleton.
why not? let x be a given real number and then {x} is such a singleton set

>and if you can define it its countable.
are you saying most real numbers aren't definable? what's wrong with their infinite decimal expansion?

[math]ln(e^2)[\math] is rational

Analysis fags love to define real numbers using convergent sums of rational numbers lol

Dont listen to that fag, to him, the square with side length of one doesnt have a diagonal.

Not a convincing argument, user.
You can only put natural numbers in the series which defines this constant.

It shows up a lot in multiplicative number theory, especially in asymptotic results.

>let x be a given real number
you need to be able to say what x is, and to do that it needs to be definable, and if its definable its countable. The best you can do about all the other real numbers as talk about a uncountable number of them between 2 definable numbers.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definable_real_number

Thats a shitty argument since for example
[eqn]\frac{1}{1}\ln \left({\frac {2}{1}}\right) + \frac{1}{2}\ln \left({\frac {2^{2}}{1\cdot 3}}\right) + \frac{1}{3}\ln \left({\frac {2^{3}\cdot 4}{1\cdot 3^{3}}}\right) + \frac{1}{4}\ln \left({\frac {2^{4}\cdot 4^{4}}{1\cdot 3^{6}\cdot 5}}\right) \cdots + \frac{1}{n}\ln\left(\prod _{{k=0}}^{n}(k+1)^{{(-1)^{{k+1}}{n \choose k}}}\right)\cdots= \ln e = 1 [/eqn]
which is rational.

What you are trying to say is that the set of definable numbers is countable. You either improve your english or ,if you actually know english and are actually this dumb, learn how to talk precisely. The following things that you said are simply wrong:
>it is one of the few that are in a countable subset
All real numbers are in SOME countable subset. You need to specify if you have a specific countable subset in mind.
>Theres no way to pick out some of the real numbers from the real line to add to a singleton
Let S = {{x} : x is real}. By the axiom of choice I can pick out any {x}.
>you need to be able to say what x is, and to do that it needs to be definable, and if its definable its countable.
Numbers are not countable. Communicate clearly.

>mfw i dont understand you post :(

>axiom of choice
theres the main problem is seems, your working in some made up play framework while im discussing real math.

>le ebin all of contemporary mainstream math is wrong xDDD XD meme

Where the fuck did you get this from. Also, I'm pretty sure the nth term is wrong.

its the log of Guillera's product for e:

is it just one person or multiple people who keep making these silly 'go back to /pol/' posts? it just seems like one butthurt leftist

funny how libtards will push fake politicized climate science but don't want people interested in politics posting on a science board for some reason

He's blaming /pol/ because they cut his welfare checks.
