I wouldn't say it's a nitpick. Rationals are fractions of integers, not just any fractions at all. Rationals are _examples_ of reals, but it's bad pedagogy to say "fractions, which are called reals" because it sounds like the authors are giving a definition of reals. While they technically did not say this was a definition, it is sloppy. |
