Trigonometric number
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a trigonometric number is an irrational number produced by taking the cosine of a rational multiple of a circle, or equivalently, the cosine in radians of a rational multiple of π, or the cosine of a rational number of degrees.
Ivan Niven gave proofs regarding these numbers in Numbers: Rational and Irrational published in 1961.
