How can the surd $\sqrt{2-\sqrt{3}}$ be expressed? I was wondering how $\sqrt{2-\sqrt{3}}$ could be expressed in terms of $\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
I did try to solve both the expressions separately but none of them seemed to match. 
I would appreciate it if someone could also mention the procedure

Theorem: Given a nested radical of the form $\sqrt{X\pm Y}$, it can be rewritten into the form $$\sqrt{\frac {X+\sqrt{X^2-Y^2}}{2}}\pm\sqrt{\frac {X-\sqrt{X^2-Y^2}}{2}}\tag{1}$$
Where $X>Y$.

Therefore, we have $X=2,Y=\sqrt{3}$ because $2>\sqrt{3}$. So plugging that into $(1)$ gives us $$\sqrt{\frac {2+\sqrt{4-3}}{2}}-\sqrt{\frac {2-\sqrt{4-3}}{2}}\tag{2}$$
Simplifying $(2)$ gives us $$\sqrt{\frac {2+1}{2}}-\sqrt{\frac {2-1}{2}}\implies \sqrt{\frac 32}-\sqrt{\frac 12}$$
$$\therefore\sqrt{2-\sqrt{3}}=\frac {\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}}$$

Alternatively, one can rewrite it as a sum of two surds, and simplify from there. Specifically, let $\sqrt{2-\sqrt3}$ equal $\sqrt d-\sqrt e$. Squaring, we get\begin{align*} & 2-\sqrt3=d+e-2\sqrt{de}\\ & \therefore\begin{cases}d+e=2\\de=\frac 34\end{cases}\end{align*}
With solving for $d$ and $e$ gives the simplification.
