Pre-Algebra 33 - Real Numbers

The video explores the concepts of rational and irrational numbers, highlighting their infinite nature. It explains how rational numbers can be found between any two integers and how irrational numbers fill the gaps between rational numbers. The video introduces the concept of real numbers, which combine both rational and irrational numbers, and discusses Georg Cantor's theory of different sizes of infinities, distinguishing between countable and uncountable infinities. The video concludes by emphasizing the continuum of real numbers on the number line and their importance in mathematics.
