I almost always go berserk when I am reading something and the guy defines something in a non standard way. Had a combinatorics and summation book like that. Insisted on using different symbols. Ripped em both up and burned em.]]>http://www.mathisfunforum.com/profile.php?id=337902012-10-20T20:24:01Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=236244#p236244Of course. But those are all just conventional. You could call the naturals F, although nobody would know you are referring to them, unless you specify your notation...]]>http://www.mathisfunforum.com/profile.php?id=1187862012-10-20T20:21:39Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=236243#p236243Anybody ever heard of N Z Q R C?]]>http://www.mathisfunforum.com/profile.php?id=337902012-10-20T20:11:27Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=236237#p236237Ah. So there is no actual specified system for the representation of such number systems. They should call it SINS, as in System Internationale Number Systems (not implying that it is morally degenerate however).]]>http://www.mathisfunforum.com/profile.php?id=975782012-10-20T20:06:41Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=236234#p236234I prefer iR.]]>http://www.mathisfunforum.com/profile.php?id=1187862012-10-20T19:46:03Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=236233#p236233By C-, I meant C with a dash on top: - C]]>http://www.mathisfunforum.com/profile.php?id=975782012-10-20T18:51:56Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=236232#p236232Shivamcoder3013 wrote:
I believe imag numbers are represented with a C-, is it not? In the education system here, they showcase Integer as I.
C are complex numbers.
I are irrationals.
I can also represent the identity matrix.

I've only seen C for the complex numbers. Does C+ have any meaning in your system, just out of interest?]]>2012-10-20T18:49:58Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=236230#p236230I believe imag numbers are represented with a C-, is it not?

I've only ever seen "I" used to represent the set of all imaginary numbers, and to denote the identity mapping.]]>2012-10-20T18:39:47Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=236226#p236226I was originally born in India, where I learned something different then here in Canada. Here, I hear (word pun!) that the symbol for Integers is I, however I recall being taught that Integer was represented by Z (as in the German word Zahlen) meaning "to count upwards".]]>http://www.mathisfunforum.com/profile.php?id=975782012-10-20T18:34:26Zhttp://www.mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=236225#p236225
