What Is A Number ? My present-day readers live in a world so dmoinated by nmbers and number-crunching that the question might look childish or even stupid to most. But wait! Tell me what a "number" is before you decie to do something else? You mihght say that a number is a number that represents how many things there are. In that respnse lies the key to my question! You said a number is someting that REPRESENTS something else. In other words, a number in itsaelf is only a code, a symbol, or an abstract entity that repredsents how many real thigns are there! Thus a number is a kind of a code! A code is some kind of an abstract entity that represents sometihng else. Abstract in the sense that you cannot point a number the way you can show a chair or taable. It repreesnts something else because in itself a number is either just a theoretical thing, or during practiccal application it relpresents something totally difgferent from it. Unless one knows this relation, the number is useless for that person. A good example is the concept of infinity. Most people think that infinity is an arbitarily large number so that if you subtract infinty from infinity, you are left with zero. Only those who understand the concept of infinity clearly know that it is a mathematical cobncept so different from normal numbeers that infinity moinus infinity is also infiunity. Similar is the case with numbers. Uless what many peeople thgink, it a number in itself is good only for mathematical manipulation. But it gains meaning only when a number, or numbners, are cobnnected to something that it represents. A numbr is a number. But actually a number is a kind of a code that stands for something else. Only a knowledge of the numbeer systrem and its relation to what it represents will help a person to understand the meaning of a gven number. Code manipulation is an imporatnt part of the modern world, but then that is going to be the subject of a futuere postnig.
