SUMMARY
The supremum and infimum of the set of all rational numbers between √2 and √3 are defined as √3 and √2, respectively. This conclusion is based on the properties of rational numbers and their density within the real number line. The discussion highlights the application of the Dedekind cut approach to establish these bounds, confirming that while √2 and √3 are not rational, they serve as the infimum and supremum for the set of rational numbers in the specified interval.
