    The numbers of Real numbers

    • counting (natural) numbers (){1, 2, 3, ... }
    • whole numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, ... }
    • integers (){... , -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
    • rational numbers () (such as -½, 6.25, )
    •  and irrational numbers



    FYI: The series of three dots ( ... ), seen within the sets above, is called an ellipsis.

    As used in mathematics, the ellipsis means "and so forth".
