Open Questions
It is not known whether π + e or π − e is irrational or not. In fact, there is no pair of non-zero integers m and n for which it is known whether m π + n e is irrational or not. Moreover, it is not known whether the set {π, e} is algebraically independent over Q.
It is not known whether π e, π/e, 2e, ee, eee,πe, π√2, ln π, Catalan's constant, or the Euler–Mascheroni gamma constant γ are irrational. It is not known if nπ or ne is rational for any positive integer n.

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or questions:
“...there are important considerations in the world beyond plain sewing and teaching dull little boys the alphabet. Any woman who has brains and willing hands finds twenty remunerative occupations open to her where formerly she would have found merely the inevitable two—plain sewing, or the dull little boys. All she had to do is to make her choice and then buckle on her armor of perseverance, while the world applauds.”
—Clara (Marquise)
“There are no other questions than these,
Half squashed in mud, emerging out of the moment
We all live, learning to like it. No sonnet
On this furthest strip of land....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
