{1,2,3,4.....}=Natural numbers {0,1,2,3,4.....}=Whole numbers

$$\left\{\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3},\mathrm{4}…..\right\}={Natural}\:{numbers} \\ $$$$\left\{\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3},\mathrm{4}…..\right\}={Whole}\:{numbers} \\ $$

As I known ,by new definition set of natural numbers insists of {0,1,2,3,...}and is denoted by symbol N,the set of numbers {1,2,3,...} is denoted by N^∗ N^∗ =N−{0}

$$\mathrm{As}\:\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{known}\:,\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{new}\:\mathrm{definition}\:\mathrm{set}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{natural}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{numbers}\:\mathrm{insists}\:\mathrm{of}\:\left\{\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3},…\right\}\mathrm{and}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{denoted}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{symbol}\:\mathbb{N},\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{set}\:\mathrm{of} \\ $$$$\mathrm{numbers}\:\left\{\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3},…\right\}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{denoted}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathbb{N}^{\ast} \\ $$$$\mathbb{N}^{\ast} =\mathbb{N}−\left\{\mathrm{0}\right\} \\ $$

In some books however the set {0,1,2,3,4.....} is referred as Natural numbers.

$${In}\:{some}\:{books}\:{however}\:{the}\:{set} \\ $$$$\left\{\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3},\mathrm{4}…..\right\}\:{is}\:{referred}\:{as} \\ $$$${Natural}\:{numbers}. \\ $$

that′s true. long time ago we wrote N for {1, 2, 3, ...} and N_0 for {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} with N_0 =N∪{0} so in older books you will still find this now we use N^★ and N with N^★ =N\{0}

$$\mathrm{that}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{true}.\:\mathrm{long}\:\mathrm{time}\:\mathrm{ago}\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{wrote} \\ $$$$\mathbb{N}\:\mathrm{for}\:\left\{\mathrm{1},\:\mathrm{2},\:\mathrm{3},\:…\right\}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathbb{N}_{\mathrm{0}} \:\mathrm{for}\:\left\{\mathrm{0},\:\mathrm{1},\:\mathrm{2},\:\mathrm{3},\:…\right\} \\ $$$$\mathrm{with}\:\mathbb{N}_{\mathrm{0}} =\mathbb{N}\cup\left\{\mathrm{0}\right\} \\ $$$$\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{older}\:\mathrm{books}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{will}\:\mathrm{still}\:\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{this} \\ $$$$\mathrm{now}\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{use}\:\mathbb{N}^{\bigstar} \:\mathrm{and}\:\mathbb{N}\:\mathrm{with}\:\mathbb{N}^{\bigstar} =\mathbb{N}\backslash\left\{\mathrm{0}\right\} \\ $$

First numbers ever used by humans were 1,2,3,... So in a sense these are ′natural′.

$${First}\:{numbers}\:{ever}\:{used}\:{by}\:{humans} \\ $$$${were}\:\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3},…\:{So}\:{in}\:{a}\:{sense}\:{these}\:{are} \\ $$$$'{natural}'.\: \\ $$
