Well, a surd is a number that cannot be simplified by extracting a square or cube root. √2 (square root of 2) can't be simplified further so it is a surd. If that is the word you meant, they have been recognized for as long as math has been around using Arabic numbers- several thousand years. Do not know of a single person that said "Hey! That is a surd!" The name of the person is lost to time.

What is the difference between surds and irrationals?
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.

How do you work out surds?

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.
