摘要
2^(1/2)的存在与不可公度量的发现是数学史上的一件大事.2^(1/2)无理性的证明引起了许多数学家的兴趣并给出 了多种证明方法.通过对2^(1/2)的有理近似值的探讨,发现了2^(1/2)的许多其他表示形式.
The existence of 2^(1/2) and the discovery of the incommensurable magnitude are. important events in the history of mathematics. The proof of the irrationality of 2^(1/2) has interested many mathematicians and been given in many ways. Various forms of 2^(1/2) have been found by calculating the approximate value of 2^(1/2) .
