In mathematics, a 'number system' is a set of numbers, together with one or more operations, such as addition or multiplication. Examples of number systems include: natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, algebraic numbers, real numbers, complex numbers, p-adic numbers, surreal numbers, and hyperreal numbers. Natural numbers are the ordinary counting numbers 1, 2, 3, .... Real numbers are values such as 5, an integer, 3/4, a rational number that is not an integer, 8.6 a rational number expressed in decimal representation, and pi, 3.1415926535..., an irrational number, that represent quantities along a continuum. This book studies number systems including integers, computable numbers, superreal numbers, surreal numbers, and cardinal numbers.
