21.2 Numerical data types
=========================
Guile supports a rich "tower" of numerical types -- integer, rational,
real and complex -- and provides an extensive set of mathematical and
scientific functions for operating on numerical data. This section of
the manual documents those types and functions.
You may also find it illuminating to read R5RS's presentation of
numbers in Scheme, which is particularly clear and accessible: see
Numbers (r5rs)Numbers.
