The concept of data type is similar to the concept of level of measurement, but more specific. For example, count data requires a different distribution (e.g. a Poisson distribution or binomial distribution) than non-negative real-valued data require, but both fall under the same level of measurement (a ratio scale).
500 people (also a type of count data) a couple conventionally refers to two objects. a few usually refers to an indefinite, but usually small number, greater than one. quite a few also refers to an indefinite, but surprisingly (in relation to the context) large number.
SI derived units are units of measurement derived from the seven SI base units specified by the International System of Units (SI). They can be expressed as a product (or ratio) of one or more of the base units, possibly scaled by an appropriate power of exponentiation (see: Buckingham π theorem).
Depending on context (i.e. language, culture, region, ...) some large numbers have names that allow for describing large quantities in a textual form; not mathematical.For very large values, the text is generally shorter than a decimal numeric representation although longer than scientific notation.
Set inclusions between the natural numbers (ℕ), the integers (ℤ), the rational numbers (ℚ), the real numbers (ℝ), and the complex numbers (ℂ). A number is a mathematical object used to count, measure, and label.
Shen Kuo (Chinese: 沈括; 1031–1095) or Shen Gua, courtesy name Cunzhong (存中) and pseudonym Mengqi (now usually given as Mengxi) Weng (夢溪翁), was a Chinese polymath, scientist, and statesman of the Song dynasty (960–1279).
Within the framework of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory, the axiom of regularity guarantees that no set is an element of itself. This implies that a singleton is necessarily distinct from the element it contains, [1] thus 1 and {} are not the same thing, and the empty set is distinct from the set containing only the empty set.
