Proof that e is irrational a proof that "e" is not a root of a second degree polynomial with rational coefficients. This last fact implies that "e" is irrational. His proofs are similar to Fourier's proof of the irrationality of "e". In 1891, Hurwitz explained how it is possible to prove along the same line of ideas that "e" is not a root of a third degree polynomial with rational coefficients. In particular, "e" is irrational. More generally, "e" is irrational for any non-zero rational "q". Proof that e is irrational The number "e" was introduced by Jacob Bernoulli in 1683. More than half a
