Most children learn about Pi and square roots somewhere during the middle school. They may hear said 'irrational number' and some even remember the phrase, but very few really understand what it means. Well, Irrational Numbers are harder to understand than rational numbers, but I consider it worth the time and effort because they have some fascinating properties. I just have to wonder in awe when I see the facts laid in front of me because it all sounds unbelievable, yet proven true.
To study irrational numbers one has to first understand what are rational numbers. In short they are whole numbers, fractions, and decimals - the numbers we use in our daily lives.
