In mathematics, if L is an extension field of K, then an element a of L is called an algebraic element over K, or just algebraic over K, if there exists some non-zero polynomial g(x) with coefficients in K such that g(a) = 0. Elements of L that are not algebraic over K are called transcendental 60 K.
These notions generalize the algebraic numbers and the transcendental numbers (where the field extension is C/Q, with C being the field of complex numbers and Q being the field of rational numbers).
