Rational Number Definition
any number that can be expressed in the form a/b, where b ≠ 0

a: numerator (how many equal pieces you have) b: denominator (how many equal pieces make a whole)

Irrational Numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction a/b. We have no way of determining the value of the denominator. We can only express an approximate value.

e.g.: the square root of 2 is irrational

√2≅1.41421356237

1.41421356237 squared = 1.999999999991

we can get infinitely clost to 2, but never exactly there

The Weird Number
MW's 2010 Rational Number Comfort Group decided that they wanted to write a sequel to The Weird Number to explore what those "numbers in the dark forest that could not be expressed as a natural number over a natural number" could be. They are working on a screen play using this wiki.
