Van Brummelen recalls his excitement, rushing through the dormitory halls with his computer, eager to share his discovery. He shouted, “Look at this, this guy is doing decimal points in the 1440s!”

Wow. I would go to a party where people are like this. Everyone free to be a square.

The concept of dividing whole numbers into smaller parts has ancient roots...

Not only that,

World’s Oldest Known Decimal Point Discovered in Italy

I've seen the sign! It's that huge white sign hanging on the wall of Rachel Revere Square in Boston, saying:

"Welcome to the North End, where Italians trace their roots."

And then one day...

I think everyone finally got the point. As a nation though, it’s only since Obama that we’ve really seen division.
