number systems
.
The standard number systems of arithmetic are natural numbers, integers, rationals, real, and complex. The latter four are vectors constructed of the naturals in order to render total (PL) the inverses of the arthmetical operations. (Please see Table.)

number theory
.
May be read at http://www.harcourt.com/dictionary /browse/19/
.
numerical algebra
.
The arithmetic of sets of numbers or the arithmetic of functions (PL) of sets of numbers. Numerical algebra is "arithmetic backwards". In arithmetic, you operate forward to obtain a single number as an answer. In numerical algebra, you start from a single number ("goal") and operate backward to "unravel" the set of numbers that yields that "goal"-number. An annuity is one such application: "How much to save in installments to accumulate a specficied amount?". (PL the camel problem and the diophantus problem).

The study of patterns of numbers as possible indicators of patterns of events or processes or behavior or patterns of structure. A better label than the current "statistics" (PL), for data collected by the State, initially for tax purposes and the draft.

An ordering of numbers in incresing degree from right-to-left, as in
