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 do you find surds?
Surds are normally irrational numbers.
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.
What are mathematical expressions containing irrational roots of numbers?
surds:- if this is for the Mail on Sunday GK crossword YES IT IS
What is a surd or irrational roots?
Irrational rootsRoots that are irrational are called surds. Irrational numbers are decimals that neither repeat nor terminate. But not all roots are surds. Sqrt(4) is not a surd, because sqrt(4) is + or - 2, which is rational. On the other hand, sqrt(2) is a surd, and that's because the square root of two is irrational.A surd is a number that cannot be changed into a fraction. They go on infinitely without any pattern.
How do you solve surd?
Surds are irrational square root numbers that cannot be solved but they can be simplified. For example the square root of 12 can be simplified to 2 times the square root of 3.

What is surds in algebra?
Irrational numbers
Why are surds useful in math?
They define irrational numbers
Are surd's rational?
No because surds are irrational numbers
Are all irrational numbers are surds?
Yes. The definition of a surd is "an irrational number"
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.
How do you work out surds?
Surds are normally irrational numbers but they can be simplified for instance the square root of 12 can be expressed as 2 times the square root of 3
How do you understand Surd's in maths?
How one understands surds depends on the person. If you would like to know what surds are, or have help understanding surds A surd is an unresolved radical, meaning that it is a root with the radical sign still on it. It is easier (and more accurate) to express it this way than writing it out for many numbers if the root is irrational. The concept of irrational numbers (which is what surds are, usually) can be confusing. In short, they are numbers that are not rational, that is, they cannot be written as a fraction. When using surds in math, you treat them just as you would a written out number.

Can you give one example for surd which is not irrational?
It is impossible to have a surd that is not irrational. Surds are defined to be an irrational number (square root of a number).
