Instead of teaching students about the difference between a number and a numeral, and teaching them about different classes of numbers like natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers, etc., our dumbed-down schools just teach students that there are just "numbers" and they are objective, universal, and real, rather than abstract imaginary objects. I bet most students don't even know that decimals are a way of expressing sums of fractions. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
