2 英文解釋

2.1 What is a Real number?

A real number is any number that can be placed on a number line or expressed as in infinite decimal expansion. In other words, a real number is any rational or irrational number, including positive and negative whole numbers, integers, decimals, fractions, and numbers such as pi (π) and Euler’s number (e).

實數(shù)是可以放在數(shù)字線上或以無限十進(jìn)制展開表示的任何數(shù)字。換句話說，實數(shù)是任何有理數(shù)或無理數(shù)，包括正負(fù)整數(shù)、整數(shù)、小數(shù)、分?jǐn)?shù)和數(shù)字，例如 pi （π） 和歐拉數(shù) （e）。

In contrast, an imaginary number or complex number is not a real number. These numbers contain the number i, where i2 = -1.

相反，虛數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)不是實數(shù)。這些數(shù)字包含數(shù)字 i，其中 i2 = -1。

Real numbers are represented by the capital letter “R” or double struck typeface . The real numbers are an infinite set of numbers.

2.2 Why are they called "Real" Numbers?

Because they are not Imaginary Numbers.

因為它們不是虛數(shù)。

The Real Numbers had no name before Imaginary Numbers were thought of. They got called "Real" because they were not Imaginary. That is the actual answer!

在虛數(shù)出現(xiàn)之前，實數(shù)是沒有名字的。它們被稱為“真實”，因為它們不是虛構(gòu)的。這才是真正的答案！
