  2. Number line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_line

    Further, the Cartesian coordinate system can itself be extended by visualizing a third number line "coming out of the screen (or page)", measuring a third variable called z. Positive numbers are closer to the viewer's eyes than the screen is, while negative numbers are "behind the screen"; larger numbers are farther from the screen.

  3. Negative number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_number

    The relationship between negative numbers, positive numbers, and zero is often expressed in the form of a number line: ... Interest rates can be negative, [19] [20] ...

  4. Manipulative (mathematics education) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manipulative_(mathematics...

    To teach integer addition and subtraction, a number line is often used. A typical positive/negative number line spans from −20 to 20. A typical positive/negative number line spans from −20 to 20. For a problem such as “−15 + 17”, students are told to “find −15 and count 17 spaces to the right”.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_(mathematics)

    A number is negative if it is less than zero. A number is non-negative if it is greater than or equal to zero. A number is non-positive if it is less than or equal to zero. When 0 is said to be both positive and negative, [citation needed] modified phrases are used to refer to the sign of a number: A number is strictly positive if it is greater ...

  6. List of types of numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_numbers

    Negative numbers: Real numbers that are less than zero. Because zero itself has no sign, neither the positive numbers nor the negative numbers include zero. When zero is a possibility, the following terms are often used: Non-negative numbers: Real numbers that are greater than or equal to zero. Thus a non-negative number is either zero or positive.

  7. Integer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer

    The integers arranged on a number line. An integer is the number zero , a positive natural number (1, 2, 3, . . .), or the negation of a positive natural number (−1, −2, −3, . . .). [1] The negations or additive inverses of the positive natural numbers are referred to as negative integers. [2]

  8. Plus and minus signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_and_minus_signs

    In chemistry, superscripted plus and minus signs are used to indicate an ion with a positive or negative charge of 1 (e.g., NH + 4 ). If the charge is greater than 1, a number indicating the charge is written before the sign (as in SO 2− 4 ).

  9. Positive real numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_real_numbers

    Including 0, the set has a semiring structure (0 being the additive identity), known as the probability semiring; taking logarithms (with a choice of base giving a logarithmic unit) gives an isomorphism with the log semiring (with 0 corresponding to ), and its units (the finite numbers, excluding ) correspond to the positive real numbers.
