Okay, I just solved BOTH the rendering problem AND the edit war about "numbers" vs. "real numbers" vs. "natural numbers"

BillP: you're thinking of integers :)

Undo revision 511250 by Nerd (Talk)Natural numbers are 1,2,3...

BillP: correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe all of said numbers are considered as natural ... I am kind of a math nerd :P
