Dear IIt Authorities,

Kindly confirm that for the qualifier questions, everywhere Natural Numbers would mean 0,1,2,3,4......

We get confused due to other references where they call this series of 0,1,2,3...infinity as Whole Numbers.

My Suggestion : Please use the Symbol No ( N zero ) everywhere to denote that it means natural numbers as 0,1,2,3....infinity ( As explained by professors in Learning Videos )

Thanks and best regards,

Hi Milind, Throughout the course we will take 0 as the natural number and this has been mentioned many times, in discussion forum, live sessions , lectures and all the course material.
