Het was het eerste boek in de westerse wereld dat decimale breuken gebruikte. Stevin is niet de (enige) uitvinder van decimale getallen en zijn notatie was nogal onhandig. Toch presenteerde hij wel als eerste decimale getallen in het leven van alledag.De eerste die decimale breuken toepaste was echter de tiende-eeuwse Islamitische wiskundige al-Uqlidisi. (nl)

| - De Thiende, published in 1585 in the Dutch language by Simon Stevin, is remembered for extending positional notation to the use of decimals to represent fractions. A French version, La Disme, was issued the same year by Stevin. Stevin introduced the decimal separator (0) between integer and fractional parts of a decimal number, calling it the "commencement". His notation included superfluous symbols (1) after or above the tenths place, (2) after or above the hundredths, and so on. Stevin also produced a French language version, and according to Sarton, "As the Flemish and French texts were both written by the author, edited by him, and published at almost the same time in the same printing shop, they have practically the same standing as original sources of STEVIN’s thought."
