What are Surds, and why are they special?

  These videos consistently distract me from my actual math homework because none of my teachers tell me WHY math works. They just want me to do the problems. I always want to know HOW mathematicians came up with this stuff and why it works!

  His teaching methods are very simple but the main thing is that it all comes from his heart instead of simply his desire to earn money unlike most teachers today. We need more teachers like you, sir. We LOVE YOU!

  I usually come across this guy&apos;s videos while studying for my exam so I watch the videos partly even if they aren&apos;t related to my study topic. This time, I was so excited to see one of his videos and my topic match so I watched the video. I can say that I had seriously entered flow and I was enjoying it so much that I could&apos;ve gone on for hours without a sign of exhaustion. Eddie sir, I simply adore the way you teach and hats off to you☺️

  I&apos;m 35 today, have a Bachelor&apos;s in Mechanical Engineering from quite a reputable university, and I just discovered why &quot;irrational numbers&quot; are named as such😞

  Great video, as always....but remember that although all surds are irrational, not all irrational are surds. &quot;pi&quot; and &quot;e&quot; are irrational but not surds. To be a surd we have to be inside a root....

  Im in the middle maths class at my school because I transferred here at the beginning of the year and we aren&apos;t learning surds. That privilege is reserved for the top class. So I&apos;m here to prove a point to my teacher that Im actually serious about my education and the things I learn even if she isn&apos;t.

  Explaining the root of words is so helpful - such a great teacher.
