Focuses on the successive construction and development of the basic number systems of mathematics: positive integers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers and complex numbers.
This book explores arithmetic's underlying concepts and their logical development, in addition to a detailed, systematic construction of the number systems of rational, real, and complex numbers. 1956 edition.
Geared toward undergraduate and beginning graduate students, this study explores natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers. Numerous exercises and appendixes supplement the text. 1973 edition.
This volume's great merit lies in its wealth of explanatory material, designed to promote an informal and intuitive understanding of the rigorous logical approach to the number system.
The author’s motivation for writing this book is that most previous texts, which have complete coverage of the subject, have not provided the level of explanation needed for first-year students.
Concise but thorough and systematic, this categorical discussion presents a series of step-by-step axioms. The highly accessible text includes numerous examples and more than 300 exercises, all with answers. 1962 edition.
This book offers a rigorous and coherent introduction to the five basic number systems of mathematics, namely natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers.
This book provides support in keeping with the major goals of National Council of Teachers of Mathematics curriculum.
Beginning with elementary concepts from logic and set theory, this book develops in turn the natural numbers, the integers and the rational, real and complex numbers.
The book illustrated the techniques and basic principles of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of all the systems of numbers. The book emphasize more on basic rules and principles than the techniques.
