     Figure 2:   The Natural Number Symbol that I scripted in SVG. The Natural Number symbol is a blackboard boldface ‘N’.      Figure 2:   The Natural Number Symbol exported as a PNG file. The set of Natural numbers can refer either to the set of non-negative integers, i.e.: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...} or to the set of positive integers, i.e.: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...} The term, ‘natural numbers,’ refers to quantities observed in nature.

Hence, why Shakespeare seemes to consider the letter, 'z,' "worthless" in Act 2 Scene 2 of King Lear You may view the code of this SVG image at my Codepen account.

Introduction to Modern Geometry Modern Geometry: The Directed Line Segment In Euclidean Geometry, line segments possess only magnitude, and not direction. A B      Figure 1:   In Euclidean Geometry, only the magnitude of line segments is considered. As we can see in Figure 1 , in Euclidean Geometry, the line segment: |AB| would be considered equal to the line segment: |BA| . However, this is not the case with Modern Geometry. In Modern Geometry, line segments not only possess magnitude, but direction also. A B      Figure 2:   In Modern Geometry, line segments possess direction as well as magnitude. In Modern Geometry: |AB| is termed: ‘a directed line segment’ . ...
