Me: I'm not sure. Who knows about computers, really? In the words of W.S. McCulloch, "What is a number, that a man may know it, and a man, that he may know a number?" (if you'll pardon the gendered language) Now if you extend this to computation...

Relative: All right, STFU, I just wanted to know how to update my Amazon account...

Lets start with natural numbers and define the integers, rational, real and complex numbers as solutions to certain equations.

and a man, that he may know a number?

Now you asked for to much.
