Algebraic Transcendence: Eliminating Transcendental Functions Through Rational World Extensions
Authors/Creators
Description
This work presents a revolutionary algebraic reformulation of transcendental functions (exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric) that eliminates their traditional classification as non-algebraic objects. By constructing exponential worlds W_exp as differential algebras with formal exponentiation operators, we demonstrate that all operations involving "transcendental" functions reduce to exact algebraic identities within appropriately extended rational worlds. The framework provides: exact computations where classical analysis yields approximations; elimination of circular definitions in exponential and logarithmic functions; algebraic treatment of trigonometric functions without geometric arguments or limits; natural implementation in computer algebra systems; and profound pedagogical advantages for mathematical education. This approach naturally unifies with the Rational Worlds framework and Algebraic Calculus, offering a coherent alternative to classical analysis that eliminates limits, epsilon-delta arguments, and the dependency on completeness of real numbers.
