Let m and n be positive integers. For the quantum integer [n]q = 1 + q + q2 + + qn-1 there is a natural polynomial addition such that [m]q ⊕q [n]q = [m + n]q and a natural polynomial multiplication such that [m]q ⊗q [n]q = [mn]q. These definitions are motivated by elementary decompositions of intervals of integers in combinatorics and additive number theory. This leads to the construction of the ring of quantum integers and the field of quantum rational numbers. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
