The real numbers are made up of:
- natural numbers
- zero
- negative integers
- fractions (rational numbers)
- algebraic irrationals - like the square root of 2
- transcendental numbers - like pi
It's likely that natural numbers - counting numbers - were known before recorded history. The more unusual kinds of real numbers were gradually understood as mathematics developed. You can't say that any particular person "discovered" the real numbers.
