"Mathematics is not a deductive science – that's a cliche. When you try to prove a theorem, you don't just list the hypotheses, and then start to reason. What you do is trial and error, experimentation, guesswork." – Paul Halmos (1916-2006)

A famous proof by contradiction is that the square root of 2 is an irrational number, i.e. it can't be written as a quote of two whole numbers.

In one of my books you're asked to show that the square root of 5 is also irrational.

Now, without searching for it, I have the feeling this must be true for any prime number. Amirite?
