Who is the founder of irrational numbers?
The history of this is confused. The first irrational number found was almost certainly root 2. The man who proved this was probably Hippasus.Hippasus died by drowning, and some stories say that Pythagoras drowned him for proving the existence of an irational number which he thought was impossible. Others say that Pythagoras ordered the drowning of Hippasus for revealing the existence of an irrational number which should be kept fron public knowledge.
Who was hippasus of metapontum?
Hippasus was a Greek mathematician of antiquity. He is credited for his proof that the square root of two is irrational, meaninng that it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. The ancient Greeks were evidently not pleased with discovery, as legend has it that he was killed for his discovery! Physics guy
