Is It Irrational?
Made a new page: Is It Irrational?
It only deals with square root irrationalities, though.
Comments, bug reports and suggestions please

Re: Is It Irrational?
The is a neat way of discovering if the square root of a number is irrational or not.
The is a typo in that sentence.

Re: Is It Irrational?
The page is very good.
I feel it should include irrational numbers of greatest importance in mathematics, namely pi, e and phi.
Character is who you are when no one is looking.

Re: Is It Irrational?
I talk about them on the general page on Irrational Numbers, but provide no discussion on why they are irrational (which I should).
ALSO, I have the awkward 22/1 = 22/12 ... which should be reduced to 22 ... but then it doesn't look like a rational number.
