Abstract

An introduction to irrational numbers is done using basic trigonometry, generally taught in pre-university courses. The irrational sets of trigonometric ratios of rational angles are discussed in detail along with two major theorems and their proofs. Algebraic numbers along with transcendental numbers are also covered.
