orgin of irrational

number.
In 5th century B.C.,the Greek mathematician Hippasus metapontum
discover irrational number .
Orgin of irrational number in India.

 Numbers which cannot be expressed as ratios of two integers are called

incommensurable or irrational (not logical or reasonable). The earliest known
use of irrational numbers is in the Indian Sulbasutras.
Hippasus metapontum Greek
mathematician.
Hippasus metapontum discover the term
irrational number .
  discovery of irrational numbers is usually attributed to Pythagoras, more
specifically to the Pythagorean Hippasus of Metapontum, who produced a
(most likely geometrical) proof of the irrationality of the square root of 2. The
story goes that Hippasus discovered irrational numbers when trying to
represent the square root of 2 as a fraction (proof below). However Pythagoras
believed in the absoluteness of numbers, and could not accept the existence of
irrational numbers. He could not disprove their existence through logic, but his
beliefs would not accept the existence of irrational numbers and so he
sentenced Hippasus to death by drowning.
How he get the term of irrational
number ?
 Hippasus is sometimes credited with the discovery of the existence of irrational
numbers, following which he was drowned at sea. Pythagoreans preached that all
numbers could be expressed as the ratio of integers, and the discovery of irrational
numbers is said to have shocked them.
In 1761 one more mathematician
research about irrational name Lambert.
 In 1761, Lambert proved that π is irrational by first showing that this
continued fraction expansion holds: Then Lambert proved that if x is non-zero
and rational, then this expression must be irrational. Since tan(π/4) = 1, it
follows that π/4 is irrational, and thus π is also irrational.
Is zero is a rational or irrational number?

No zero is not a irrational number it is a rational number.

 This States that 0 is a rational number because any number can be divided by
0 and equal 0. Fraction a/b shows that dividing 0 by integer results in infinity.
Infinity is not an integer because it cannot be represented in fractional form.
Therefore, this is an irrational number.
What are the two famous irrational
number are ?
 The common examples of irrational numbers are pi(π=3 ⋅14159265…), √2, √3,
√5, Euler’s number (e = 2⋅718281…..), 2.010010001….,etc.
