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.
