FRACTIONS come in various forms. There are vulgar (or simple) fractions, decimal fractions, and continued fractions to mention but a few. In this lecture we look at vulgar fractions and how they were used by the Egyptians and then at decimal fractions and, in particular, recurring decimal fractions. We also look at square and cube roots and then at continued fractions. We start, however, by summarizing the kinds of real numbers.
