Number Theory
Numbers are defined by the mathematical units (not numbers) 1 and i (the real and imaginary units), and are typically put into number systems when they need to be stored. There exists various classes of numbers:
Number types (as sets)
$\mathbb{N} \subset \mathbb{Z} \subset \mathbb{Q} \subset \mathbb{R}$
$\mathbb{I} \cup \mathbb{R} = \emptyset$
$\mathbb{C} \cup \mathbb{R} = \emptyset$
