Understanding Real Numbers

The video tutorial explains real numbers, which include rational and irrational numbers. It discusses rational numbers as those that can be expressed as a fraction with non-zero denominators. The tutorial identifies expressions that are not real, such as those involving division by zero or negative square roots. It also covers the conditions under which square roots are real and distinguishes between rational and irrational numbers, using examples to illustrate these concepts.
