One of my colleagues with a strong math background has corrected many of my API 
javadoc comments seeking to avoid any ambiguity.  See reference below about 
positive integers.

Positive numbers

A positive number is any number that is greater than 0. **Unlike positive 
integers**, which include 0 and the [natural 
numbers](https://www.math.net/natural-numbers), positive numbers include 
[fractions](https://www.math.net/fraction), 
[decimals](https://www.math.net/decimal), and other types of 
[numerals](https://www.math.net/numerals).
