	Three Digit Subtraction Algorithm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Of course, if you add the difference between 999 and the bottom number to the top number, you will have a bigger number than the top number, and subtraction is supposed to give you smaller answers.
		However many digits are in the top number, subtract the bottom number by the number you get by taking that many 9's, and add the difference to the top number.
		Since the bottom number, being smaller than the top number is further away from the number with all the 9's than the top number, the sum will have one more digit than the top number and that one more digit will be a 1.

		While the number 1¯ corresponds to the decimal number 0.9, there is no decimal number* corresponding to (-1)¯, which is the cut {x in D : x < -1}.
		Instead of extending the decimal numbers so as to include additive inverses of those decimal numbers that are cancellable under addition, we could extend them so as to include multiplicative inverses of those decimal numbers that are cancellable under multiplication.

	Computer Representation of Numbers
		Since there's an infinitely large number of real numbers (and in three directions: very large, very small, and very negative), it will never be possible to represent all of them (without using potentially infinite amounts of space).
		You can now represent both much larger numbers and much smaller; the tradeoff is that the absolute resolution is no longer constant, and gets smaller as the absolute value of the numbers gets larger.
		When working with computer floating point, you have to be careful not to compare two numbers for exact equality, and you have to ensure that ``round off error'' doesn't accumulate until it seriously degrades the results of your calculations.

		The difference between rational and irrational numbers is that the decimal expansion of a rational number is periodic, ie your infinite sequence will repeat a certain pattern over and over again.
