Dutch Calvinist Stevin and decimals, 17th C 

Here's the Wikipedia entry.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Stevin

Mentioned inn Fuller's 'Critical Path' chronology of technology that I use for one of the Matthew parts of 'Gospels Layer of Eternal Calendar'. ('A Thousand Year Prayer'.

He wrote in Dutch, thinking it was the best language.

'. Muslim mathematicians were the first to utilize decimals instead of fractions on a large scale. Al-Kashi's book, Key to Arithmetic, was written at the beginning of the 15th century and was the stimulus for the systematic application of decimals to whole numbers and fractions thereof.[15][16] But nobody established their daily use before Stevin.'
