1. Number System Basics
Q = {a/b : a, b ∈ Z, b ≠ 0}
R = Q ∪ Q̄
2. Rational Numbers
a/b = c/d ⇔ a × d = b × c
a/b > c/d ⇔ a × d > b × c
d = (y - x)/(n + 1)
n rational numbers between x and y: x + d, x + 2d, x + 3d, ..., x + nd
(a + c)/(b + d)
3. Irrational Numbers
Non-terminating and non-recurring decimal
√m is irrational if exact square root of m does not exist
√ab
(a + b)/2
4. Real Numbers and Relationships
R = Q ∪ Q̄
Rational numbers = terminating or recurring decimals
