BFCS+Week+2

**Welcome to Week 2:**
I'll be adding content as we go through the week. For tomorrow, I only want to go over a couple of ideas. The first is a review of number types. Rather than add another presentation, I made a short screencast looking at various numbers and determining which categories each fell into. I recommend that you start the screencast, copy the numbers, determine for yourself and then let the screencast play. See if we agree: More Examples of Number Types

The next thing I wanted to cover was repeating, non-terminating decimals. You've been told they are rational numbers. If so, you should be able to convert one to a ratio of integers (in other words, a fraction). So, how do you convert something like 0.531531531. . . into a fraction. This screencast will show you: How to Convert a Repeating, Non-terminating Decimal to a Fraction.

Keep checking back. We have a lot of week to go.
