%C A007507 "The 7th of Hilbert's famous 23 problems proposed at the 1900 Mathematical 
               Congress was to prove the irrationality and transcendence of certain 
               numbers. Hilbert gave as examples 2^sqrt(2) and e^Pi. Later in his 
               life he expressed the view that this problem was more difficult than 
               the problems of Riemann's hypothesis or Fermat's Last Theorem. Nevertheless, 
               e^Pi was proved transcendental in 1929 and 2^sqrt(2) in 1930, illustrating 
               the extreme difficulty of anticipating the future progress of mathematics 
               and the real difficulty of any problem - until after it has been 
               solved. - David Wells
