There are more Irrational Numbers than rationals.
- The diagonal of a 1 x 1 square is irrational.
- pi, the ratio of the circumference and diameter of a circle is irrational. Almost anything to do with circular, spherical, ellipsoidal shapes will involve pi.
- pi is also involved in harmonic motion - pendulums, sound waves, light waves, a springboard bouncing up and down (except that damping will soon stop it).
- e, the base of logarithms and whose real significance is apparent in advanced mathematics, is irrational.
