    Study Notes

    Integers and Rational Numbers

    • An integer is defined as a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero, and does not include fractions or decimals.
    • Examples of integers include -3, 0, and 5, while numbers like 1.5 or -2.7 are not integers.

    Subsets of Rational Numbers

    • The set of natural numbers (typically denoted as $\mathbb{N}$) is a subset of the rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$.
    • Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, where the denominator is not zero.

    Group and Ring Containing Natural Numbers

    • The smallest group that contains the natural numbers is the integers $\mathbb{Z}$, as they include all natural numbers and their negative counterparts.
    • The smallest ring containing the natural numbers is also $\mathbb{Z}$, since rings must include additive identity (0) and inverses, which integers provide.

    Notation of Integers

    • The set of integers is commonly denoted as $\mathbb{Z}$, which comes from the German word "Zahlen" meaning "numbers."
    • This notation is often represented in boldface or blackboard bold styles in mathematical literature.
