The existential crisis of math students everywhere! The notation "x ∈ ℤ+" means "x is an element of the positive integers" - which is basically just saying "x is a positive whole number." But mathematicians love making simple concepts sound impossibly complex. It's like ordering a "deconstructed dihydrogen monoxide infusion with organic plant matter" when you really just want a cup of tea. No wonder the alien is confused - even advanced civilizations draw the line at unnecessarily complicated math notation!
