question: I feel like this is something that took people along time to grasp what was it that made people realize that decimals and small numbers were real when so many people believed there were only whole and rational numbers?

i find it amazing that we have found smaller numbers that have lead us to the world of science more like with out this math we would not have been able to do alot of the things we do today. i always have been so interested in science and have never really cared for math but this makes me have a deeper appreciation for all the people that have spent there life trying to find the information that i talk for granted of a daily bases. math opens up a knew world it helps you to see things that you may never see but you can understand. and with out this information you know nothing truly about the world around you. another thing that i found interesting about this article is that they used counting boards to find out information. that seems like alot of work and how in are time we are so lazy its hard for us to even pull out a calculator its really crazy.
i still cant see how they could understand this in there time because i dont know how i could grasp all this information when you think about math and small numbers it makes me feel like things are less clear instead of more clear
