Chapter 1Introduction and somestandard definitions andresults1.1 Number systems in applied mathematicalanalysisThe following number systems are often encountered in applied mathematicalwork:• integers• rational numbers• real numbers• complex numbersWe note that each of the listed classes of numbers is a subset of the followingones. Integers and rational numbers may be processed by means of symbolicmanipulation, e.g. in Maple. Rational numbers are then represented in the formr = p/q,where p and q are integers (q ≠ 0). Complex numbers are written in the formz = x + iy,where x and y are reals. See also [11], page 4 – 9.2
