In this assignment you will be expected to use your textbook and the internet sites listed below to compile your own dictionary of terms that are associated with the Real Number System. Each term should have a comprehensive definition, this means use more than one source to compile a definition that fully explains the meaning of the term. Do not copy a definition. You will not receive credit for a copied definition. Read several definitions, think about the meaning of each definition, and try to state the definition in your own words. For each term, please include an illustration and/or several examples in the box provided on the template. Some words have special symbols that represent them. Please include these where appropriate. Be sure to state the sources for each definition. NOTE: not all the websites will contain every word and some may be a bit harder to locate than others!
