Review text

Verf. versucht mit elementarsten Mitteln (trigonometrische Funktionen und quadratische Glei\-chung) aus der Annahme, \(\pi\) sei rational, mit Fallunterscheidungen Widersprüche herzuleiten. Bedauerlicherweise werden auf den Wegen zu den Widersprüchen recht einfache Aufmerksamkeitsfehler gemacht, die den Beweis auf der ganzen Linie zu Fall bringen. Schade, der Titel der Arbeit klang vielversprechend.
