Positive real numbers

In mathematics, the set of positive real numbers,is the subset of those real numbers that are greater than zero.has also been widely employed, is aligned with the practice in algebra of denoting the exclusion of the zero element with a star, and should be understandable to most practicing mathematicians.is identified with the positive real axis, and is usually drawn as a horizontal ray.This ray is used as reference in the polar form of a complex number.The real positive axis corresponds to complex numbersand the multiplicative inverse function exchanges the intervals.which is a sequence of integers obtained from the floor function after the excess has been reciprocated.the sequence terminates with an exact fractional expression offorms a total order but is not a well-ordered set.forms a ratio scale, the highest level of measurement.is the integer in the doubly infinite progression, and is called the decade.In the study of physical magnitudes, the order of decades provides positive and negative ordinals referring to an ordinal scale implicit in the ratio scale.Restricting to invertible matrices gives a map from the general linear group to non-zero real numbers:Restricting to matrices with a positive determinant gives the map; interpreting the image as a quotient group by the normal subgroupAmong the levels of measurement the ratio scale provides the finest detail.The division function takes a value of one when numerator and denominator are equal.The ratio scale then segments by orders of magnitude used in science and technology, expressed in various units of measurement.An early expression of ratio scale was articulated geometrically by Eudoxus: "it was ... in geometrical language that the general theory of proportion of Eudoxus was developed, which is equivalent to a theory of positive real numbers.corresponding to the pullback of the usual Lebesgue measure on the real numbers under the logarithm: it is the length on the logarithmic scale.In fact, it is an invariant measure with respect to multiplicationThe utility of this measure is shown in its use for describing stellar magnitudes and noise levels in decibels, among other applications of the logarithmic scale.For purposes of international standards ISO 80000-3, the dimensionless quantities are referred to as levels.The non-negative reals serve as the image for metrics, norms, and measures in mathematics.has a semiring structure (0 being the additive identity), known as the probability semiring; taking logarithms (with a choice of base giving a logarithmic unit) gives an isomorphism with the log semiring (with 0 corresponding to), and its units (the finite numbers, excluding) correspond to the positive real numbers.It is the identity element of two one-parameter groups that intersect there:The one-parameter subgroups L and H in Q profile the activity in the product, and
