The Real Number & Surd Architecture
Across
- 2. The name of the ancient Greek philosopher credited with constructing the geometric continuous square root spiral made out of contiguous unit-leg right triangles
- 5. The strict logical method used to rigorously prove the irrationality
Down
- 1. A historical geometric term used to describe two lengths that do not share a common fractional measure, directly leading to the discovery of irrationality
- 2. A sub-category of irrational numbers (such as \(\pi \) or \(e\)) that cannot be expressed as the root of any algebraic polynomial equation with integer coefficients
- 3. The specific algebraic expression, variable, or scalar value that sits entirely underneath the protective roof of a radical root sign
- 4. The small integer n nestled in the hook of a radical that dictates the specific order of the surdsign
