INTRODUCTION
In linguistics, a numeral (or number word) in the broadest sense is a word or phrase that describes a numerical quantity. Some theories of grammar use the word "numeral" to refer to cardinal numbers that act as a determiner to specify the quantity of a noun, for example the "two" in "two hats". Some theories of grammar do not include determiners as a part of speech and consider "two" in this example to be an adjective. Some theories consider "numeral" to be a synonym for "number" and assign all numbers (including ordinal numbers like the compound word "seventy-fifth") to a part of speech called "numerals" Numerals in the broad sense can also be analyzed as a noun ("three is a small number"), as a pronoun ("the two went to town"), or for a small number of words as an adverb ("I rode the slide twice").
The actuality of numerals can express relationships like quantity (cardinal numbers), sequence (ordinal numbers), frequency (once, twice), and part (fraction). We first learn about numbers in order to count. We began with matching the numbers 1, 2, and 3 with our fingers. Then we and kept going as high as we could, which probably wasn't that high. These counting numbers or natural numbers were the only numbers that we knew about.
The aim of when dealing with subtraction, negative whole numbers were introduced. The set of positive and negative whole numbers is called the set of integers. Shortly after this, rational numbers, also called fractions were considered. Since every integer can be written as a fraction with 1 in the denominator, we say that the integers form a subset of the rational numbers. The ancient Greeks realized that not all numbers can be formed as a fraction. For example, the square root of 2 cannot be expressed as a fraction. These kinds of numbers are called irrational numbers. Irrational numbers abound, and somewhat surprisingly in a certain sense there are more irrational numbers than rational numbers. Other irrational numbers include pi and e.A young boy and his father visit the beach for the first time. They leave their hotel, lay down their towels in the sand, and then run to the water. Immediately, they fall in love with the waves. They splash wildly among them, riding the surf into shore and then running out as far as the waves crest. They do this back and forth for about an hour. After exhaustion, they decide to check back to where they laid down their towels. However, when they turn to the shore, nothing looks the same. In fact, the high-rise hotel is nowhere in sight. Nervous, they wonder how they got there and, more importantly, how to get back to wherever they started. What had seemed like such a fun, new, and exciting time had taken them to an area where they didn’t want to be.
