 Extended real number line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The extended real number line is obtained from the real number line R by adding two elements: +∞ and −∞ (which are not considered to be real numbers).
The extended real number line is denoted R or [−∞, +∞].
This limiting behaviour is similar to the limit of a function at a real number, except that there is no "number" to which x is approaching.

The real numbers are, intuitively, numbers that are in one-to-one correspondence with the points on a line -- the number line[?].
Real numbers may be expressed by decimal fractions, such as 324.823211247...; it is recursive[?] if the digits can be specified by a recursive algorithm.
It's impossible to explicitly specify a non-recursive number; the Russian school[?] of constructivism assumes that all real numbers are recursive.

Real numbers could be constructed as the topological completion of rational numbers.
Occasionally, formal elements +∞ and -∞ are added to the reals to form the extended real number line, a compact space which is not a field anymore but retains many of the properties of the real numbers.
Self-adjoint operatorss on a Hilbert space (for example, self-adjoint square complex matrices) generalize the reals in many respects: they can be ordered (though not totally ordered), they are complete, all their eigenvalues are real and they form a real associative algebra.

 Number line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A number line is a one-dimensional graph in which the integers are shown as specially-marked points evenly spaced on a line.
The number line is most often represented as being horizontal (though it need not be so).
Customarily, positive numbers lie on the right side of zero, and negative numbers lie on the left side of zero (though it need not be so).

The paradox is that this means there can be at most countable real numbers in the unit interval (easily extendable to the entire real number line), as opposed to the standardly accepted non-denumerable real numbers.
real numbers (with something akin to the topological discontinuities we get when projecting spaces onto lower dimensional subspaces), but the arithmetic convergence requirement takes away that ability.
The reals (will) have their own granularity, and one of the casualties there will be the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem with its “cluster points”, since the granularity that derives from the actually non-vanishing remainder ensures that we can always find a non-null punctured neighborhood around any point with no numbers/points in it whatsoever.

 Real number   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
For example, the set of rationals with square less than 2 has a rational upper bound (e.g., 1.5) but no rational least upper bound, because the square root of 2 isn't rational.
It isn't possible to characterize the reals with first-order logic alone: the Lowenheim-Skolem theorem[?] implies that there exists a countable dense subset of the real numbers satisfying exactly the same sentences in first order logic as the real numbers themselves.
Occasionally, formal elements +∞ and -∞ are added to the reals to form the extended real number line, a compact space which isn't a field anymore but retains many of the properties of the real numbers.

Some authors use the extended real number line and allow the distance function d to attain the value ∞.
A metric space M is called bounded if there exists some number r > 0 such that d(x,y) ≤ r for all x and y in M (not to be confused with "finite", which refers to the number of elements, not to how far the set extends; finiteness implies boundedness, but not conversely).

 Yellowtail - Animated, Real-Time Pattern Playback
No randomness was employed in the procedural animation of the "curlies." Instead, their animated behavior is strictly determined by the shape and speed of the mark when it was drawn.
Nevertheless, because each line repeats according to its own natural period, the complex phase relationships of the different marks produce the effect of an ever-changing yet coherent animated texture.
Since then, a number of researchers and companies have developed spectrogram-based drawing systems for the analysis and resynthesis of sound.

 Infimum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In analysis the infimum or greatest lower bound of a set S of real numbers is denoted by inf(S) and is defined to be the biggest real number that is smaller than or equal to every number in S.
If S is empty, we define inf(S) = ∞ (see extended real number line).

 What are the Real Numbers?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The so-called 'Real Number System' is an attempt to extend the ideas of number and arithmetic (which originate in counting) to describe more general measurements such as length, weight and temperature.
On the other hand, if that was the bad news, the good news is that the operations of arithmetic (defined for whole numbers in terms of combinations of sets) can be extended in a natural way to fractions and also to those "limits of fractions" that we need to account for all possible measurements.
One way to define the Real Number System is to "construct" it by identifying real numbers with sequences of approximating rationals and showing that the arithmetic operations do extend consistently.
