Your book uses sheet music? I guess it tells you how to read music as well?
The numbers are fret numbers.
everytime you go up a fret you go up a semitone.
there are 12 semitones in an octave
the semitiones for each string are
E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, E
A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A
D, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D
G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, E, F, F#/Gb, G,

the first is 0 the last is 12.

I hope that wasn't jibberish.
