Real Numbers
All of these number types - rational numbers (which includes integers) and irrational numbers fall under the general heading of real numbers. The fact that these are called ``real'' implies immediately that there is a classification of numbers that are ``unreal'' - in fact this is the case, but we call them ``imaginary'' instead.
