The symbol \mathbbR represents the set of all real numbers, which includes both rational numbers (like \frac12 and -3) and irrational numbers (like \sqrt2 and \pi). Real numbers can be found on the number line, encompassing all the points that can be measured, including integers, fractions, and decimals. In mathematics, \mathbbR is fundamental for various fields, including calculus, algebra, and geometry. It is used to describe continuous quantities and is essential for understanding concepts such as limits, functions, and derivatives. The real numbers are a complete ordered field, meaning they have no gaps and can be arranged in a sequence.
