Roots that are irrational are called surds.
There are Irrational Numbers that are not surds since they are not roots of any equation.
For example, Pi.
Rational roots, such as square root of 4, are not surds.

Is the difference of two irrational numbers irrational?
No. For example take π and π-3 the difference of these 2 irrationals is 3.
How do you find surds?
Surds are normally irrational numbers.
Why are irrational numbers called surds?
Irrational number are NOT called surds. For example, pi is irrational but it is not a surd.Surds are a very small subset of irrational numbers.
How many irrational numbers are there between sqrt2 and sqrt3?
Infinitely many. In fact, the number of irrationals in any interval - no matter how small - is infinite. Furthermore, the cardinality of the set of irrationals in any interval is greater than the cardinality of rational numbers in total!
What are surds?
A surd is a square root which cannot be reduced to a whole number: however you need to be able to simplify them.
Is there a rational number between any two irrational numbers?
Yes. To find it, evaluate both irrationals until the numbers show a difference in one of their later digits. Truncate the irrationals after this digit, sum them, then divide by 2. Job done.
Difference between real and rational number?
Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Real numbers are any number, including irrationals.
Is the difference of two irrational numbers irrational?
No. For example take π and π-3 the difference of these 2 irrationals is 3.
How do you find surds?
Surds are normally irrational numbers.
Are surds plant roots?
No. Surds are a part of maths, and are the opposite of powers.
Who created surds?

What is the difference between surds and irrational numbers?
A surd is a number expressed as a square root (or some other root). Such roots are usually irrational; but irrational numbers also include other numbers, which CAN'T be expressed as the root of a rational number. For example, pi and e.
What are like surds?
the limit does not exist
What is surds in algebra?
Irrational numbers
Who created maths surds?
Whoever it was who discovered that if you had a square whose sides were one unit long, the lengths of its diagonals were sqrt(2) - surds!
Can a surd be negative?
No, surds can never be negative.
Why are irrational numbers called surds?
Irrational number are NOT called surds. For example, pi is irrational but it is not a surd.Surds are a very small subset of irrational numbers.
