0306 Real Number System PDF

The document describes the real number system and its subsets. The real numbers are divided into rational numbers, which can be expressed as fractions, and irrational numbers, which are non-repeating and non-terminating decimals. Rational numbers include integers, fractions, and terminating decimals. Irrational numbers include numbers like the square root of 2. The real number line is used to represent all real numbers graphically.
