Hmm, I have a question...

But sin(x) is not an inverse function like those and won't produce Pi or any fractions of Pi for any real rational or algebraic values of its argument. In other words, there's no rational or algebraic value x for which sin(x) = Pi/4 or Pi/6 or 2/3*Pi, etc.

This is a strong statement, and for me both surprising and interesting: is there any accessible explanation? Is there a term I could search for to find out more?
