Joe really likes him some continued fractions. Yessireee that man do like them.

Me too! I would love to have this available on a calculator if for nothing else than have students experiment with it. I would certainly use it more than a lot of other commands. (What do the letters dfc stand for anyway?)

Just a few days ago, a former student sent me a problem that involves a continued fraction of sorts and I haven't been able to figure it out.
