Rational numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not zero.
Irrational numbers: Numbers that cannot be written as a simple fraction, characterized by non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions.
Surds: Irrational roots that cannot be simplified to remove the root, representing exact radical expressions that remain in root form.
Indices laws: Rules that govern the manipulation of powers and roots, including properties such as multiplying powers with the same base, dividing powers, and raising powers to powers.
Standard form: A way of writing numbers as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10, used to handle very large or very small values efficiently.
