Interleaving of digits of $e$ and $\pi$

134 Views Asked by At

What happens if we form a number by taking every other digit of, say, $\pi$? Has this type of construction been studied? Also, what if we interleave the digits of $e$ and $\pi$?

You get a new number. Like almost all numbers, it's probably transcendental.

Any construction involving digits depends on the radix (or base) in which you're representing the numbers. So it's nothing really intrinsic to the number or numbers involved.
