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

There are various reasonings for the proof of the ir­ra­tion­al­ity of the square root of 2. This article ex­plains exhaustively the indirect proof variant and shows one of the possible abbreviated forms in mathematical notation. Exercises with so­lu­tions consolidate the acquired knowledge.
