A.1 <str<strong>on</strong>g>Number</str<strong>on</strong>g>s<br />
The basic numbers types can be expressed in boundary notati<strong>on</strong>. For each number<br />
type below, the general structure <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> that type is given in boundary form followed by<br />
some examples.<br />
