What Is the What writes: "Over the course of many years, Dave and I have collaborated to tell my story... I told [him] what I knew and what I could remember, and from that material he created this work of art." The book is typical of Eggers' style: blending non-fictional and fictional elements into a non-fiction novel or memoir. By classifying the book a novel, Eggers says, he freed himself to re-create conversations, streamline complex relationships, add relevant detail and manipulate time and space in helpful ways—all while maintaining the essential truthfulness of the storytelling. However, not all critics were impressed. Lee Siegel sees
Irrational number then no integral power of it can be an integer, as in lowest terms there must be a prime in the denominator that does not divide into the numerator whatever power each is raised to. Therefore, if an integer is not an exact "k" power of another integer, then that first integer's "k" root is irrational. Perhaps the numbers most easy to prove irrational are certain logarithms. Here is a proof by contradiction that log 3 is irrational. Notice that log 3 ≈ 1.58 > 0. Assume log 3 is rational. For some positive integers "m" and "n", we have
