		Mathematics shows that, in spite of the clash between its modes of procedure, results obtained by the use of the infinite completely agree with those found by the strictly mathematical, namely, geometrical and analytical method.
		The usual definition of the mathematical infinite is that it is a magnitude than which there is no greater (when it is defined as the infinitely great) or no smaller (when it is defined as the infinitely small), or in the former case is greater than, in the latter case smaller than, any given magnitude.
		That the magnitudes of which it is supposed to consist as amount are in turn decimal fractions and therefore are themselves ratios, is irrelevant here; for this circumstance concerns the particular kind of unit of these magnitudes, not the magnitudes as constituting an amount.

	Summa Theologica (FP_Q7_A3) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		But mathematics uses the infinite in magnitude; thus, the geometrician in his demonstrations says, "Let this line be infinite." Therefore it is not impossible for a thing to be infinite in magnitude.
		For if we imagine a mathematical body actually existing, we must imagine it under some form, because nothing is actual except by its form; hence, since the form of quantity as such is figure, such a body must have some figure, and so would be finite; for figure is confined by a term or boundary.
		But magnitude is an actual whole; therefore the infinite in quantity refers to matter, and does not agree with the totality of magnitude; yet it agrees with the totality of time and movement: for it is proper to matter to be in potentiality.

	The Daily, Tuesday, December 7, 2004. Performance of Canada's youth in mathematics, reading, science and problem solving
		Canadian 15-year-old students are among the best in the world when it comes to mathematics, reading, science and problem solving, according to a major new international study that assesses the skill level of students nearing the end of their compulsory education.
		The study showed that while boys outperformed girls in mathematics, the magnitude of the difference in Canada was small.
		Nevertheless, these results suggest that high self-confidence in mathematics as well as low mathematics anxiety may be important outcomes on their own.

		Measures: The mathematics subtests of a nationally norm-referenced achievement test, the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills (CTBS), were administered in September of year 1 to determine initial equivalence of groups, and were administered in May of year 1 and March of year 2 to determine differences in outcomes between groups.
		An experimenter-constructed math attitude survey designed to reflect the NCTM affective goals (e.g., learn to value mathematics, become confident in their ability to do mathematics, etc.) was also administered in May of year 1 and in March of year 2.
		Confounds: Due to the ceiling effect on the CTBS for CMC students at the end of 2nd grade, the reported magnitude of the difference between the groups may be a substantial underestimate of the true difference in mathematics achievement.

		Now I don't know how they define the orders of magnitude in astronomy, but, in mathematics it is done like this: to take an example, in the time I think of Elizabeth, people began to find that the subdivision of the hour into quarters of an hour, was not quite minute enough for their purposes.
