contents In this note, I develop step-by-step proofs of irrationality for $\,ζ{(2)}\,$ and $\,ζ{(3)}$. Though the proofs follow closely those based upon unit-square integrals proposed originally by Beukers, I introduce some modifications which certainly will be useful for those interested in understanding this kind of proof and/or trying to extend it to higher zeta values, Catalan's constant, or other related numbers.
