> The ancient greeks rejected ( or ignored ) irrational numbers too
They didn't rejected it for computational reason. They rejected it because it didn't fit in their framework of how number works.
That's the whole point of the evolution of math that culminated into the subject of real analysis.
If that wasn't the point of why you brought the greek up then it doesn't make sense why you bought it up other than the main topic of the Chinese, computation, etc...
