``surds'' by alozano on 2004-04-14 10:38:29
Hi,

I am sorry but I still think this term, surd, is quite ambiguous, and quite confusing. I don't really see any use for this term. For example, $\sqrt{2}$ can be written as $\exp(1/2 \log(2))$ as well, and in many other forms that may involve other sorts of symbols.
