IntegersDefinition 7.1. The set of integers, denoted $\mathbb{Z}$, is the set $$\{0\} \cup \mathbb{P} \cup -\mathbb{P}$$ where $- \mathbb{P} = \{ -n \, | \, n \in \mathbb{P} \}$. RationalsDefinition 7.2. The set of rational numbers, denoted $\mathbb{Q}$, is the set $$\left\{ \frac{p}{q} \;\middle|\; p, q \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } q \neq 0 \right\}$$Integer ExponentsDefinition 7.3. Let $x \in \..
