Mathematica and the Wolfram Language have built in support for the 4 main types of numbers: integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers. You do not need to import any external libraries, or worry about size limitations. Everything just works. In this lesson, we will introduce the numerical types, show you some useful keyboard shortcuts, determine how far you can push your computer, and more.
