Is there an easy way to prove that for any irrational [tex]\xi[/tex] the set:

[tex]\{x \in \mathbb{R}: x = p + q\xi, \ p, q \in \mathbb{Z}\}[/tex] is dense in [tex]\mathbb{R}[/tex]?

I know a proof involving notions from measure theory of which I unfortunately know nothing about. Any help would be very appreciated.
