Definition:Below (Number)

Definition
In the context of numbers, below means less than.

Note that this applies to:
 * the natural numbers $\N$
 * the integers $\Z$
 * the rational numbers $\Q$
 * the real numbers $\R$

but specifically not the complex numbers $\C$ because the complex numbers do not have a usual ordering.
