RATIONAL NUMBERS In mathematics‚ a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers‚ with the denominator q not equal to zero. Since q may be equal to 1‚ every integer is a rational number. The set of all rational numbers is usually denoted by a boldface Q it was thus named in 1895 byPeano after quoziente‚ Italian for "quotient". The decimal expansion of a rational number always either terminates after a finite number of digits or begins to repeat the

Cardinal numbers: Definition‚ Examples Cardinal numbers We know that‚ the relation in sets defined by A~ B is an equivalence relation. Hence by fundamental theorem on equivalence relation‚ all sets are partitioned into disjoint classes of equivalent sets. Thus for any set A‚ equivalence class of A‚ [A] = { B | B ~ A } Result: - (1) [A] = [B] or [A] ∩ [B] = ∅ ‚ that is for any two sets‚ either they have same equivalence classes or totally disjoint equivalence classes.
