1. Section P-1 What are the properties of real numbers?

2. Real Numbers Symbol (R) May be described informally in many different ways

3. Natural Numbers Symbol (N) Also called counting numbers Examples: {1,2,3,4…..}

4. Whole Numbers Symbol (W) Also called counting numbers plus zero Examples: {0,1,2,3,4…..}

5. Integers Symbol (J) Positive and negative whole numbers Examples: {…-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3…}

6. Rational Numbers Symbol (Q) Numbers that can be written as fractions Ex: whole numbers 6/3=2 repeating decimals 1.232323... terminating decimals 1.85692

7. Irrational Numbers Symbol (I) Non-terminating numbers Ex: π, Square root of 2 Ex: π, Square root of 2 Non-repeating decimals that never end Ex: 1.849573495638974…. Ex: 1.849573495638974….
