Summary

This chapter is devoted to studying, in more depth, the set of integers Z, its structure, and properties. The integers play a fundamental role in many areas of mathematics, science, and beyond. The integers are closely related to the set of natural numbers and thus are often used in problems involving counting, sequences, and structures with finitely many elements (such as finite fields).
