8 special numbers to do math? Ooh what are they?
Oh they are: 0, 1, -1, 1/10, sqrt(2), π, e, i
The author simply introduce the number sets... why doesn't the author bring out a Venn diagram or the Russian dolls? He even got the natural numbers wrong. Look, the natural numbers are 1,2,3,... counting the natural way. Have you seen a baby start counting with 0? 0,1,2,3,... are non-negative whole numbers.
Natural numbers, then add 0 to it, the negative numbers, fractions, irrational, transcendental, imaginary.
That's high school student knowledge rehashed as some business article?
And the author didn't bother to show the glamorous Euler identity linking 5 of the numbers above? I am a bit disappointed.
