Natural number: History & Applications

In mathematics, the natural numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on, possibly excluding 0. The terms positive integers, non-negative integers, whole numbers, and counting numbers are also used. The set of the natural numbers is commonly denoted by a bold N or a blackboard bold ⁠ N {\displaystyle \mathbb {N} } ⁠.
