In mathematics, the idea of '''irreducibility''' plays a fundamental role. It concerns objects which cannot be broken down into simpler objects of the same kind. Mathematicians then focus their research on these "simplest" objects, the irreducibles. For example irreducible numbers are [[Prime_number|prime]], the building blocks of all other numbers.
