    Master the real number system, irrational numbers, surds, rationalisation, and exponent laws.

The Number Hierarchy
      Think of numbers as nested boxes: Natural numbers are inside Whole numbers, which are inside Integers, which are inside Rational numbers, which are inside Real numbers.

Number	Type	Reason
√4	Rational	√4 = 2 (perfect square)
√7	Irrational	7 is not a perfect square
0.333...	Rational	Recurring decimal = 1/3
0.10100100010...	Irrational	Non-terminating, non-recurring
π	Irrational	Non-terminating, non-recurring
22/7	Rational	It is p/q form (just an approximation of π)
