Number Sets The numbers we can use vary according to the context of the problem we are doing as well as any restraints put on us by the problem. 5, 3, 0, 1 2, 5... 7i, i, i 2, i 3, i2 , i3 , i4 9, 10, …-> - 3 1/4, -2/3. -1/2, 0, 2, 7/3, 2 1/2, . . . 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, … -> 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, …-> -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, How old are you? The age of a person is always positive. We usually speak of being a discrete number of years old. In fact we are continually aging and so can be a fractional age, say 14.375 years. In either case, our age is always positive. 5, 3, 0, 1 2, 5... 7i, i, i 2, i 3, i2 , i3 , i4 9, 10, …-> - 3 1/4, -2/3. -1/2, 0, 2, 7/3, 2 1/2, . . . 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, … -> 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, …-> -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, What is today’s date?

Temperature is on a continuous scale. It can be positive or negative. The cut off point is zero degrees in Celsisus and 32 degrees in Farenheit.

Because of their dark and mysterious nature, Maseres concluded that negative numbers did not exist. However, other mathematicians were braver. They took a leap into the unknown and decided that negative numbers could be used during calculations, as long as they had disappeared upon reaching the solution. 5,http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/PictDisplay/Maseres.html 3, 0, 1 2, 5... 7i, i, i 2, i 3, i2 , i3 , i4 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime_20060309.shtml 9, 10, …-> - 3 1/4, -2/3. -1/2, 0, 2, 7/3, 2 1/2, . . . 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, … -> 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, …-> -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Then There were Fractions… Part to whole or part to part Whole to part or ratio One the basis, one the heart We are fractions, watch us grow!

Even the Ancient Egyptians wrote math texts describing how to convert general fractions into their special notation. Classical Greek and Indian mathematicians made studies of the theory of rational numbers, as part of the general study of number theory. The best known of these is Euclid's Elements, dating to roughly 300 BC. http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/PictDisplay/Euclid.html 5, 3, 0, 1 2, 5... 7i, i, i 2, i 3, i2 , i3 , i4 9, 10, …-> - 3 1/4, -2/3. -1/2, 0, 2, 7/3, 2 1/2, . . . 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, … -> 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, …-> -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Rational Numbers • I can’t be written as a set! • I can’t be pictured clearly on a number line! • I do have a symbol: Q • I can be used to solve the equation 2x = 1 • I can’t be used to solve the equation x2 = 2.

The story goes that Hippasus discovered irrational numbers when trying to represent the square root of 2 as a fraction. However Pythagoras believed in the absoluteness of numbers, and could not accept the existence of irrational numbers. He could not disprove their existence through logic, but his beliefs would not accept the existence of irrational numbers and so he sentenced Hippasus to death by drowning. http://www.anselm.edu/homepage/ dbanach/pyth3.htm 5, 3, 0, 1 2, 5... 7i, i, i 2, i 3, i2 , i3 , i4 9, 10, …-> - 3 1/4, -2/3. -1/2, 0, 2, 7/3, 2 1/2, . . . 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, … -> 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, …-> -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 3 Irrational Numbers 2 • I can’t be written as a set! • I can’t be pictured clearly on a number line! • I don’t have a symbol. • I can be used to solve the equation x2 = 2 • I can’t be used to solve the equation x2 = -2.

Closed formulas for the roots of cubic and quartic polynomials were discovered by Italian mathematician Gerolamo Cardano. It was soon realized that these formulas, even if one was only interested in real solutions, sometimes required the manipulation of square roots of negative numbers. http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Mathematicians/Cardan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number#History 5, 3, 0, 1 2, 5... 7i, i, i 2, i 3, i2 , i3 , i4 9, 10, …-> - 3 1/4, -2/3. -1/2, 0, 2, 7/3, 2 1/2, . . . 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, … -> 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, …-> -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Imaginary Numbers • I can’t be written as a set! • I can be pictured clearly on a number line! • I have no symbol. • I can be used to solve the equation x2 = -2 • When you marry me to the Real numbers I become the ultimate set of numbers… 5, 3, 0, 1 2, 5... 7i, i, i 2, i 3, i2 , i3 , i4 9, 10, …-> - 3 1/4, -2/3. -1/2, 0, 2, 7/3, 2 1/2, . . . 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, … -> 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, …-> -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, The Complex Numbers You can now solve any of our equations.
