Talk:Apotome is Irrational

The word "irrational" in the title is misleading as it uses Euclid's definition of "irrational" instead of the definition used nowadays. What word should go in its stead? --kc_kennylau (talk) 01:59, 6 November 2016 (EDT)

 * Have you looked at the definitions of "rational line segment" and "irrational line segment"? Do so before making any further contributions in this area. --prime mover (talk) 03:38, 6 November 2016 (EST)


 * Of course I looked. --kc_kennylau (talk) 03:43, 6 November 2016 (EST)


 * So why not use "rational line segment" and "irrational line segment" for these terms you are worried about? Not that I really care, this is just for my own academic interest. I am no mathematician. --prime mover (talk) 03:52, 6 November 2016 (EST)


 * It seems funny to name this page as "Apotome is Irrational Line Segment"... --kc_kennylau (talk) 03:54, 6 November 2016 (EST)
