| Nov 5, 2010 at 21:56 | comment | added | J.C. Ottem | Does the Gauss-Lucas theorem hold for such polynomials? | |
| Nov 5, 2010 at 21:19 | comment | added | user6976 | @Gerry: ...which implies, by the way, that $\pi$ is not a rational number.:) | |
| Nov 5, 2010 at 20:56 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | Note that even an absurdly simple special case, $x^{\pi}=1$, has an infinity of solutions, $x=e^{2ni}$, $n=0,\pm1,\pm2,\dots$. | |
