+;;; number.el --- Functions for working with numbers -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+
+;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
+;; Version: 0.0.1
+;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24"))
+;; Homepage: https://user.git.corp.google.com/wpcarro/briefcase
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;; Classifications of numbers:
+;; - Natural: (a.k.a positive integers, counting numbers); {1, 2, 3, ... }
+;;
+;; - Whole: Natural Numbers, plus zero; {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
+;;
+;; - Integers: Whole numbers plus all the negatives of the natural numbers;
+;;   {... , -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...}
+;;
+;; - Rational numbers: (a.k.a. fractions) where the top and bottom numbers are
+;;   integers; e.g., 1/2, 3/4, 7/2, ⁻4/3, 4/1.  Note: The denominator cannot be
+;;   0, but the numerator can be.
+;;
+;; - Real numbers: All numbers that can be written as a decimal.  This includes
+;;   fractions written in decimal form e.g., 0.5, 0.75 2.35, ⁻0.073, 0.3333, or
+;;   2.142857. It also includes all the irrational numbers such as π, √2 etc.
+;;   Every real number corresponds to a point on the number line.
+;;
+;; The functions defined herein attempt to capture the mathematical definitions
+;; of numbers and their classifications as defined above.
