Numbers are entities describing the magnitude or position of a mathematical object. Numbers express quantities and are the basis for counting, comparing amounts, performing calculations, determining order, making measurements, representing value, setting limits, abstracting quantities, coding information and transmitting data. The most elementary representation of numbers is the tally or unitary system of notation. The different types are imaginary numbers, integers, natural numbers, real numbers and whole numbers.
