The set of all rational numbers is referred to as the "rationals," and forms a field that is denoted Q. Here, the symbol Q derives from the German word Quotient, which can be translated as "ratio," and first appeared in Bourbaki's Algèbre (reprinted as Bourbaki 1998, p. 671).
Any rational number is trivially also an algebraic number.
