Definition talk:Transcendental

I'm not sure that definition for transcendental for $E/F$ is correct. If $E/F$ is a field extension, then $F \subseteq E$. So how can all elements of $E$ be transcendental? The unity certainly isn't ...

Was that an error I put in when I mangled the original definition? --Matt Westwood 15:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, this may be an error incurred when Cynic merged the pages and perhaps wanted all definitions to be in terms of transcendental elements.

I'll fix it quickly. --Grambottle 15:54, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Nope, I see it now, it was me that merged the pages. My bad. So as to adjust the definition so it emphasises transcendentalism rather than algebraicness, I'll put in an amendment. --Matt Westwood 18:32, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
