\begin{definition}[Definition:Real Number/Also known as]
When the term '''number''' is used in general discourse, it is often tacitly understood as meaning '''real number'''.
They are sometimes referred to in the pedagogical context as '''ordinary numbers''', so as to distinguish them from '''complex numbers'''
However, depending on the context, the word '''number''' may also be taken to mean '''integer''' or '''natural number'''.
Hence it is wise to be specific.
