Explanation

When children first learn to count, they learn natural numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, ...). These are the counting numbers used for basic enumeration and are the first number system introduced in mathematics education. Rational numbers, transcendental numbers, and 'eponymous numbers' are advanced concepts learned much later.
