Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In mathematics, an irrational number is any real number which cannot be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers, with q non-zero and is therefore not a rational number. Informally, this means that an irrational number cannot be represented as a simple fraction. It can be proven that irrational numbers are precisely those real numbers that cannot be represented as terminating or repeating decimals, although mathematicians do not take that to be the definition. As a consequence of Cantor's proof that the real numbers are uncountable (and the rationals countable) it follows that almost all real numbers are irrational. Perhaps the best-known irrational numbers are ¿, e and ¿2. When the ratio of lengths of two line segments is irrational, the line segments are also described as being incommensurable, meaning they share no measure in common. A measure of a line segment I in this sense is a line segment J that "measures" I in the sense that some whole number of copies of J laid end-to-end occupy the same length as I.
