Famous quotes containing the words finite and/or decimal:
“All finite things reveal infinitude:”
—Theodore Roethke (19081963)
“It makes little sense to spend a month teaching decimal fractions to fourth-grade pupils when they can be taught in a week, and better understood and retained, by sixth-grade students. Child-centeredness does not mean lack of rigor or standards; it does mean finding the best match between curricula and childrens developing interests and abilities.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
