What you need to know before the exercises

In this lesson: Classify a number in the smallest of N, Z and Q and understand inclusions between sets.

How to proceed: Ask first whether the number is natural; if not, check whether it is an integer; only then move to rational numbers.

You can already assume: Integers, fractions and number sets.
