A Proof of Irrationality of $\pi$ by Contraposition

History and Overview 2015-12-02 v1

Abstract

We point out that the proof of irrationality of π\pi by Niven can be modified to a proof by contraposition. As a warm-up, we also give a proof of irrationality of 2\sqrt{2} and 3\sqrt{3} in a similar way.
