Hypercomplex numbers

Algebraic complex numbers

* Imaginary unit: $i\; =\; sqrt\{-1\}$

Other hypercomplex numbers

* The quaternions
* The octonions
* The sedenions
* The dual numbers (with an infinitesimal)

Transfinite numbers

* Infinity in general: $infty$
* Aleph-null: $aleph\_0$
* Aleph-one: $aleph\_1$
* Beth-one: () is the cardinality of the continuum: $2^\{aleph\_0\}$

Numbers representing measured quantities

* Pair: 2 (the base of the binary numeral system)
* Dozen: 12 (the base of the duodecimal numeral system)
* Baker's dozen: 13
* Score: 20 (the base of the vigesimal numeral system)
* Gross: 144 (= 12²)
* Great gross: 1728 (= 12³)
* Avogadro's number: N_A = $6.022...\; imes\; 10^\{23\}$
