Proof that π is irrational Laczkovich to find a new and simpler proof of the fact that the tangent function has the continued fraction expansion that Lambert had discovered. Laczkovich's result can also be expressed in . In fact, Γ("k")"J"(2"x") = "x""f"("x"). So Laczkovich's result is equivalent to: If "x" ≠ 0 and if "x" is rational, then Proof that π is irrational In the 1760's, Johann Heinrich Lambert proved that the number (pi) is irrational: that is, it cannot be expressed as a fraction "a"/"b", where "a" is an integer and "b" is a non-zero integer. In the 19th century, Charles Hermite found a
