Glossary
Number Systems
- ℕ - The set of natural numbers. No zero. No negatives. Subtraction and division aren't always possible. ℕ = {1, 2, 3, ...}.
- ℤ - The set of integers. Subtraction is always possible. ℤ = {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
- ℚ - The set of rational numbers (Quotient). Fractions.
- ℝ - The set of real numbers. √(2), π, e. ℝ⁺ for positive reals.
- ℂ - The set of complex numbers. i²=-1
Algebraic Structures
- Set - A collection of elements.
- Group - A set with a binary operation. The operation must be associative. If the operation is commutative then it is an Abelian group.
- Field -
