Along the way, you will see characterizations of the rationals and of certain special (Liouville) transcendental numbers. This material is basic to all of algebra and analysis. Professor Niven's book may be read with profit by interested high school students as well as by college students and others who want to know more about the basic aspects of pure mathematics. 606 $aNumbers, Real 606 $aNumbers, Complex 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNumbers, Real. 615 0$aNumbers, Complex. 676 $a512.81 700 $aNiven$b Ivan$f1915-1999.$012251 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465200203321 996 $aNumbers$92052171 997 $aUNINA
