The video tutorial by Mr. J explains the concept of irrational numbers, which cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers and have non-terminating, non-repeating decimal forms. The video begins with a recap of rational numbers, which can be expressed as fractions and have terminating or repeating decimals. It then provides examples of irrational numbers, such as the square root of non-perfect squares, Pi, and Euler's number. The tutorial concludes with exercises to determine whether given numbers are rational or irrational.
