Irrational Numbers are numbers that can't be represented by a fraction, ie. they don't have terminating or repeating decimals.
Pi (3.14159.........) and e (2.71828.......) are irrational since they can't be expressed in the form a/b where a and b are integers, b =/ 0.
Conversely, .33333333 is rational since it can be expressed as 1/3
