Algebraic numbers are a subset of complex numbers that are roots of non-zero polynomial equations with rational coefficients. In other words, a complex number \\( \\alpha \\) is considered algebraic if there exists a polynomial \\( P(x) \\) with \\( P(x) \\in \\mathbb\{Q\}\[x\] \\) (the set of all polynomials with rational coefficients) such that \\( P(\\alpha) = 0 \\).
