SWhat changed
Used rational-approximation bounds to prove existence of explicit transcendental-number classes.
Scientific scope
The record treats Liouville's linked Comptes rendus notes of 13 and 20 May 1844 as one tightly bounded achievement. It does not absorb his 1851 synthesis, later named Liouville constants or subsequent transcendence theorems.
