1.1 Introduction


Natural numbers: N = {1 2 3 }


Integer numbers: Z = N∪{0 −1 −2 −3 } = {0 1 −1 2 −2 3 −3 }

Rational numbers: Q = all fractions of the form 

, where  ∈ Z and  ∈ N

  + +
Sum of rational numbers: 
+ 
= 
(warning: 6= +
)


Product of rational numbers: (  )(  ) = 



Division of rational numbers: (  ) : (  ) = 
 = 





 
Order in Q: 
 
⇔   


Powers of rational numbers: a rational number  multiplied by itself 
times ( ∈ N) is written as  . If    ∈ Q,   ∈ Z and   ∈ N we
have:
1 √
i) If   0 then  =  ⇔  =   =  ,
ii) (−) 6= − (example: (−3)2 6= −32 ),
 1
iii)   := (  ) ,
    + 2 −3 2 3 −1
iv)     = (  )+(  ) =   (example: 3 3 3 4 = 3 3 − 4 = 3 12 =

    
v) (  )  = (  )(  ) =   ,
vi)    = () and
vii) ( + ) 6=  +   .

, But powers of rational numbers do not always are rational numbers! For
1 √
instance, 2 2 = 2 is not a rational number. The rational numbers are not
enough to express the exact measure of all magnitudes (another example:
the quotient between the length of a circumference and its radius is not a
rational number).




1.2 Real numbers


The real numbers R are required to express the exact measure of all
magnitudes. The real numbers are the result of adding the irrational numbers
to the rational numbers. The rational numbers may be defined as the set of
decimal numbers with a finite number of decimals or with infinite decimals
such that beyond a certain digit a finite sequence of digits repeats itself
forever. The numbers with infinite decimals and such that there is not a
finite sequence of digits that repeats itself forever beyond a certain digit are
the irrational numbers.


Remark: there is no such thing like the number “next to” or “preceding
to” any rational number! There are irrational numbers between any two
consecutive rational numbers.


We have: N ⊂ Z ⊂ Q ⊂ R.


In the “real line” every point represents a real number.




1.3 Absolute value and distance between real numbers

½
, if   0
The absolute value of  ∈ R is || :=
−, if   0
