"The product of a rational number and an irrational number is SOMETIMES irrational." If you multiply any irrational number by the rational number zero, the result will be zero, which is rational. Any other situation, however, of a rational times an irrational will be irrational.
The sum of an irrational number and an irrational number is irrational. The product of a rational number and a rational number is rational. The product of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational.
The proof that √2 is indeed irrational is usually found in college level math texts, but it isn't that difficult to follow. It does not rely on computers at all, but instead is a "proof by contradiction": if √2 WERE a rational number, we'd get a contradiction.
