Proof of the Irrationality of the Square Root of 2 ($\sqrt{2}\in ℝ$)

For the proof of the irrationality of the square root of 2 different proofs exist. This article explains in detail the indirect proof variant and introduces one of the pos­sible short spellings in mathematical notation. Ex­er­cises with solutions consolidate what has been learn­ed.

The duplex file versions have a type-area optimized for duplex-capable printers (double-sided printing), the mar­gin widths vary depending on even or odd page num­bers.
