minus-square@MBM@lemmings.worldlinkfedilink18•19 days agoPositive integers are (a subset of) natural numbers
minus-square@ewenak@jlai.lulinkfedilink5•19 days agoWhy a subset? They’re the same thing right? I guess it could be about the zero?

minus-square@ewenak@jlai.lulinkfedilink3•19 days agoWell what I learned in school was that zero was both positive and negative. I knew some people consider the natural numbers don’t include zero, but I didn’t know for some zero isn’t even positive.
minus-square@SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-219 days agoit is neither positive nor negative
minus-square@deltapi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•edit-219 days agoI knew a physicist who considered 0 negative if she arrived at 0 coming from negative source numbers and positive if coming from positive sources. Something something sampling rate
minus-square@MBM@lemmings.worldlinkfedilink2•19 days agoSome places (like France) talk about positive and strictly positive, others (like England) about non-negative and positive

minus-square@ewenak@jlai.lulinkfedilink1•18 days agoTrue But I don’t think they would have said “a subset of” if the sets were identical.
Positive integers are (a subset of) natural numbers

True
But I don’t think they would have said “a subset of” if the sets were identical.
