Explanation:

that is a tricky question.

basically all numbers we know are either a real or an imaginary number.

but there are many sub-types and one super-type that are defined in mathematics.

the superset of real and imaginary numbers is called complex numbers. that means it contains all real and all imaginary numbers.

the real numbers have then many sub-types :

e.g.

natural numbers

whole numbers

integer numbers

rational numbers

irrational numbers

so, you see, if the question means if there are any additional forms of numbers than real and imaginary numbers, then no.

if the question means if there are more number type definitions than just real and imaginary numbers, then yes.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

In mathematics, there are real numbers, imaginary numbers, and complex numbers. Is there any other category? We have infinite Cardinal and Ordinal numbers, not covered above.
