  • A. Surreal numbers
    Surreal numbers are a class of numbers introduced by John H. Conway that form an extensive ordered field encompassing the real numbers, infinite quantities, and infinitesimals within a unified framework.
  • B. Peano notation
    Peano notation is a formal symbolic system for representing natural numbers and arithmetic operations using axioms and successor functions, developed by Giuseppe Peano.
  • C. On Numbers and Games
    On Numbers and Games is a mathematical book by John H. Conway that introduces surreal numbers and explores combinatorial game theory in a rigorous yet playful style.
  • D. Dyson’s transform in number theory
    Dyson’s transform in number theory is a combinatorial technique introduced by Freeman Dyson to manipulate and relate integer partitions, particularly in the study of partition identities and congruences.
