The importance of numbers in mathematics and everyday life is undeniable. From natural numbers used for counting to imaginary numbers for complex calculations, each set plays a critical role. Natural numbers (ℕ) and whole numbers (ℤ⁺ or ℕ₀) are foundational for basic arithmetic. Integers (ℤ) include negative numbers, while rational numbers (ℚ) can be expressed as fractions. Irrational numbers (ℝ\ℚ) have non-repeating decimals, and real numbers (ℝ) encompass all number types. Imaginary numbers extend the system for advanced math and science.

Natural numbers are positive integers without zero, used for counting and ordering
Definition of Whole Numbers
Whole numbers include all natural numbers along with zero, and can be visualized on a number line
Natural and whole numbers can be represented on a number line to show their orderly sequence
Integers include all natural numbers, their negative counterparts, and zero, and can be depicted on a number line extending infinitely in both directions
Integers provide a more extensive classification that incorporates natural and whole numbers, as well as negative numbers
Integers are used in various mathematical applications, such as problem-solving in science and engineering
Rational numbers can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, including integers, proper and improper fractions, and decimals
Examples of rational numbers include -5.5, -3/2, 0, 1/2, and 0.75
Decimals can be converted into fractions to show their rational nature
Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers and are used to measure continuous quantities in the physical world
Real numbers are the most commonly used numbers in daily life and in mathematical applications
Real numbers cover a broad spectrum, from negative to positive, including zero, fractions, and irrational numbers

01
Symbol for natural numbers
ℕ represents natural numbers, which are positive integers starting from 1.
02
Inclusion of zero in number sets
ℤ⁺ or ℕ₀ includes zero along with all natural numbers, expanding ℕ to include 0.
