Rationals

Rationals

represents the domain of rational numbers, as in x∈Rationals.

Details

  • x∈Rationals evaluates immediately if x is a numeric quantity.
  • Simplify[expr∈Rationals,assum] can be used to try to determine whether an expression corresponds to a rational number under the given assumptions.
  • (x1|x2|…)∈Rationals and {x1,x2,…}∈Rationals test whether all xi are rational numbers.
  • The domain of integers is taken to be a subset of the domain of rationals.
  • Rationals is output in StandardForm or TraditionalForm as TemplateBox[{}, Rationals]. This typeset form can be input using rats.
