Computable numbers are defined as those for which there is an algorithm to compute their digits with desired accuracy; this class includes both all algebraic numbers and some transcendental numbers. Definable numbers, on the other hand, can be described within a formal mathematical system, leading to a countably infinite set encompassing all rational and all algebraic numbers.

What are counting numbers?
Counting numbers are the oldest numbers used in counting and are often represented as 1, 2, 3, and may or may not include zero.
What are whole numbers?
Whole numbers are non-negative integers, including zero, such as 0, 1, 2, 3.
What are rational numbers?
Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions where both A and B in A/B are integers, with B not equal to zero.
What are irrational numbers?
Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as fractions; their decimal expansions are non-terminating and non-repeating.
What are imaginary numbers?
Imaginary numbers are numbers that yield a negative result when squared, denoted by the imaginary unit 'i'.
What is the difference between algebraic and transcendental numbers?
Algebraic numbers are solutions to polynomial equations with integer coefficients, while transcendental numbers are not solutions to any such equations.
What are quaternions?
Quaternions extend complex numbers to four dimensions and are used in 3D computer graphics and robotics.
What are constructible numbers?
Constructible numbers are numbers that can be formed using only a compass and straightedge in a finite number of steps.
What are computable numbers?
A number is computable if there is a finite algorithm to compute its digits with any desired accuracy.
What are definable numbers?
Definable numbers have a finite description in a formal mathematical system and include all rational and algebraic numbers.
