Definition
A number $n$ is squarely irrational if and only if both $n$ and its square are irrational.
Thus, the set of the squarely irrational numbers is:
- $\set {x \in \R \setminus \Q : x^2 \in \R \setminus \Q}$
Linguistic Note
The term squarely irrational was invented by $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.
As such, it is not generally expected to be seen in this context outside $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.
