Dan Drake 🦆<p>BTW, when thinking about fractions and decimal expansions, I always want to mention the Egyptian numeral system, and in particular the excellent book "Count Like An Egyptian":</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Count_Like_an_Egyptian/a7PzAgAAQBAJ?hl=en" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">google.com/books/edition/Count</span><span class="invisible">_Like_an_Egyptian/a7PzAgAAQBAJ?hl=en</span></a></p><p>The problem with our "p/q" notation for rationals is that it's hard to compare and approximate them. Say: which is bigger, 17/43 or 11/29? Hard to see, right?</p><p>But if I ask the same question for 0.3953488 and 0.3793103, it's easy.</p><p>Now think of approximation. Think of 17/43 in your typical quotitive (I think) model: you divide a circle into 43 equal sectors and you have 17 of them. But who can divide a pizza into 43 slices?? I want a smaller denominator that gets me close to 17/43.</p><p>Egyptian fractions make both tasks easy. I forget the details of how 17/43 would be done, but it turns out 17/43 is very close to 3/8 + 1/50. And 11/29 is very close to 3/8 + 1/250. So you can:</p><p>* see which is bigger;</p><p>* look at the denominators of the second-order terms and see how good your approximation is</p><p>Nice!
