		mhartl on Oct 1, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: All Rational Approximations of Pi Are Useless Maybe you're just trolling, but rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as p/q, where p and q are integers. Neither i e nor i is an integer, so your proposed quotient has no bearing on the (ir)rationality of e.

I'll assume you are not trolling. My point is that

log(-1)/(sqrt(-1)*log(e)) = ln(-1)/sqrt(-1)

I am just writing the same equation using a log with another base so I don't have e in the equation explicitly.
