History of whole Numbers
In mathematics, the natural numbers are the ordinary whole numbers used for counting ("there
are 6 coins on the table") and ordering ("this is the 3rd largest city in the country").
These
purposes are related to the linguistic notions of cardinal and ordinal numbers, respectively (see
English numerals).
A later notion is that of a nominal number, which is used only for naming.
Properties of the natural numbers related to divisibility, such as the distribution of prime
numbers, are studied in number theory.
Problems concerning counting and ordering, such as
partition enumeration, are studied in combinatorics.
There is no universal agreement about whether to include zero in the set of natural numbers:
some define the natural numbers to be the positive integers {1, 2, 3, .

}, while for others the
term designates the non-negative integers {0, 1, 2, 3
