Blackboard bold is probably the most common way of denoting the "standard" number sets: the natural numbers, the integers and so on. In AMS-LaTeX, you use the \mathbb{...}
command to obtain them; the ConTeXt way is the \blackboard{...}
command. Also, the following commands are defined:
\naturalnumbers
\integers
\rationals
\reals
\complexes
- essays
as well as \primes
for blackboard bold P.
