In contrast, [[transcendental numbers]] are real numbers which are not roots of any finite degree polynomial with integer coefficients.  The most well-known transcendental numbers are e and <math>\pi</math>.

The set of Algebraic Numbers is countably [[infinite]].  This follows from the fact that the set of finite degree polynomials with integer coefficients is countably [[infinite]].
