An '''irrational number''' is a [[real number]] that cannot be expressed as the ratio of two [[integers]].
 +
 
 +
Irrational numbers often arise as solutions to problems involving rational numbers.  For example, the square root of 2 is irrational.  Other irrationals, such as [[pi]], serve as fundamental constants in many mathematical problems.
 +
 
 +
Irrational numbers can never be expressed exactly using decimal notation with a finite number of digits.  Instead it is common to write them using only enough significant digits to solve the problem at hand, followed by an ellipsis (…):

:<math>\pi\ = 3.1415926...</math>
