Numbers
E.g. Integers (positive and negative) fractions, rational and irrational (Non repeating decimal expansions)
numbers e.g. root 2, and Pi
Intervals: subsets of real numbers
o
Closed intervals = A<= x <=B Includes end points. (E.g. X is greater than or equal to A,
but less than or equal to be B)
Open interval = A < x< B Excludes end points. (E.g. X is greater than A, but less than B
Half open sets = includes one end point (E.g. X is greater than or equal to A, but less
than B). (X is greater than A, but less than or equal to be B)
Operations: 5 major operations on real numbers are addition, subtraction, division, multiplication
and exponentiation (raising to the power).
Order of operation: BODMAS
