We first give a summary of the history of transcendental numbers then use a nice technique by G. Dresden to prove a new transcendental number. In particular, while previous work looked at the last non-zero digit of nn, we consider the digit right before its last non-zero digit and show that the infinite decimal built from these digits is transcendental.
