Classification of Numbers and Their Properties

The video tutorial discusses the classification of real numbers into rational and irrational categories. It explains rational numbers as those that can be expressed as a fraction, including integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals. The video also covers integers and whole numbers, highlighting common misconceptions. Irrational numbers, such as pi and non-perfect square roots, are defined as numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction. The tutorial addresses common misconceptions and provides examples to clarify these concepts.
