The sets of numbers we denote in common way: = {0; 1; 2; 3; . . .} - the set of natural numbers; = {0; ±1; ±2; ±3; . . .} - the set of integers; {m } = m ∈ , n ∈ , n ≠ 0 - the set of rational numbers; n - the set of real numbers. Important subsets of the set of real numbers are . Given two real numbers a and b such that a b the [a; b] is defined as [a; b] = {x ∈ |a ≤ x ≤ b} and (a; b) is defined as (a; b) = {x ∈ |a x b} In both cases a is called of the interval and b is called of the interval. The difference of the closed and open interval is that the closed interval contains both endpoints a and b but the open interval contains none of these. Open intervals are also (a; ∞) = {x ∈ |x a} and (−∞; b) = {x ∈ |x b} The [a; b) is defined as [a; b) = {x ∈ |a ≤ x b} the half-open interval (a; b] is defined as (a; b] = {x ∈ |a x ≤ b} The [a; ∞) is defined as [a; ∞) = {x ∈ |x ≥ a} the half-open interval (−∞; b] is defined as (−∞; b] = {x ∈ |x ≤ b} 1 The of two given sets A and B is denoted A ∪ B and is defined as the set of elements that are the elements of A or the elements of B or elements of both sets A and B : A ∪ B = {x |x ∈ A or x ∈ B} The of two given sets A and B denoted A ∩ B and is defined as the set of elements that are the elements of A and the elements of B : A ∩ B = {x |x ∈ A and x ∈ B} A domain is the subset of the set of real numbers.
