Theorem nthruz

Description: The sequence NN , NN0 , and ZZ forms a chain of proper subsets. In each case the proper subset relationship is shown by demonstrating a number that belongs to one set but not the other. We show that zero belongs to NN0 but not NN and minus one belongs to ZZ but not NN0 . This theorem refines the chain of proper subsets nthruc . (Contributed by NM, 9-May-2004)
