Abstract
In this chapter, various types of numbers are discussed together with their algebraic operators: rational numbers, radicals, special real numbers such as π, complex numbers, floating-point approximations, integers, and Z modulo n.
Tools for manipulating and converting numbers are discussed in chapter12, Manipulating and converting numbers, but the basics ideas for manipulating radicals and complex numbers are demonstrated in the present chapter.
