if (√2)is rational we get (√2)=(p/q)   with p and q from Q^(+★)   we can take   Δ(p,q)=1  ⇒2q^2 =p^2   ⇒ p^2 is even ⇒p even ⇒∃ m ∈N /p=2m ⇒  2q^2 =4m^2  ⇒q^2 =2m^2  ⇒q^2  is even ⇒ q is even ⇒∃m^′  /q=2m^′  ⇒  2 divide p and divide q  but this is impossible because Δ(p,q)=1 .

this proof is algebric.
