Number (mathematics), word or

symbol used to designate
quantities or entities that behave
like quantities.
 TYPES OF NUMBERS

1. RATIONAL NUMBERS
2. IRRATIONAL NUMBERS
3. COMPLEX NUMBERS

 RATIONAL NUMBER
The simplest numbers are the natural numbers, 1, 2, 3,
.... The natural numbers are also called the whole
numbers, positive integers, or positive rational integers.
The natural numbers are closed with respect to addition
and multiplication—that is, the sum and product of two
natural numbers are always natural numbers. Because
the quotient (the result of dividing) of two natural
numbers, however, is not always a natural number, it is
convenient to introduce the positive fractions to
represent the quotient of any two natural numbers.
 IRRATIONAL NUMBER
 The development of geometry indicated
the need for more numbers; the length of
the diagonal of a square with sides one
unit long cannot be expressed as a
rational number. Similarly, the ratio of the
circumference to the diameter of a circle is
not a rational number. These and other
needs led to the introduction of the
irrational numbers. A decimal expansion
that is neither of the two types described
above represents an irrational number.
 COMPLEX NUMBER
 The product of a real number
multiplied by itself is 0 or positive, so
the equation x2 = -1 has no solutions
in the real number system. If such a
solution is desired, new numbers
must be invented. Let i = Á be a new
number representing a solution of
the preceding equation. All numbers
of the form a + bi, in which a and b
are real numbers, belong to the
complex number system.
