The Set of Real Numbers
- $\R$
The set of real numbers.
Its $\LaTeX$ code is \mathbb R or (preferably) \R.
MediaWiki $\LaTeX$ also allows \reals, but MathJax does not recognise that as a valid code.
Some authors use $R$.
The Set of Non-Zero Real Numbers
- $\R^*$
The set of non-zero real numbers:
- $\R^* = \R \setminus \left\{{0}\right\}$
Its $\LaTeX$ code is \mathbb R^* or (preferably) \R^*.
MediaWiki $\LaTeX$ also allows \reals^*, but MathJax does not recognise that as a valid code.
The Set of Non-Negative Real Numbers
- $\R_{\ge 0}$
The set of non-negative real numbers:
- $\R_{\ge 0} = \left\{{x \in \R: x \ge 0}\right\}$
Its $\LaTeX$ code is \mathbb R_{\ge 0} or (preferably) \R_{\ge 0}.
MediaWiki $\LaTeX$ also allows \reals_{\ge 0}, but MathJax does not recognise that as a valid code.
Deprecated
- $\R_+$
The set of non-negative real numbers:
- $\R_+ = \left\{{x \in \R: x \ge 0}\right\}$
Its $\LaTeX$ code is \mathbb R_+ or (preferably) \R_+.
MediaWiki $\LaTeX$ also allows \reals_+, but MathJax does not recognise that as a valid code.
The Set of Strictly Positive Real Numbers
- $\R_{> 0}$
The set of strictly positive real numbers:
- $\R_{> 0} = \left\{{x \in \R: x > 0}\right\}$
Its $\LaTeX$ code is \mathbb R_{> 0} or (preferably) \R_{> 0}.
MediaWiki $\LaTeX$ also allows \reals_{> 0}, but MathJax does not recognise that as a valid code.
Deprecated
- $\R_+^*$
The set of strictly positive real numbers:
- $\R_+^* = \left\{{x \in \R: x > 0}\right\}$
Its $\LaTeX$ code is \mathbb R_+^* or (preferably) \R_+^*.
MediaWiki $\LaTeX$ also allows \reals_+^*, but MathJax does not recognise that as a valid code.
