Real numbers R
The real numbers are sometimes also called the real line.
It is the continuum of numbers where there are no gaps.
We will explain later, what ”no gap” means.
Definition.
By the set of real numbersRwe will understand a set on which there are operations ofadditionandmultiplication (denoted by+and·), and a relation ofordering(denoted by≤), such that it has the following three groups of properties.
I. The properties of addition and multiplication and their relationships.
II. The property of being ordered.
III. The infimum axiom (completion).

The infimum axiom:
LetM be a non-empty set bounded from below. Then there exists a unique numberg ∈Rsuch that
(i) ∀x ∈M:x ≥g,
(ii) ∀g0 ∈R,g0 >g ∃x ∈M: x <g0.
The numberg is denoted byinfM and is called the infimumof the setM.
