"Transcendental" means not the root of any finite polynomial with integer coefficients. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_number Is there a name for a number which isn't algebraic for a _solvable_ Galois polynomial -- i.e., a number which can't be constructed by rational & root operations?
