ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

I am of the opinion that CE+BCE does not solve an arithematic dificiency of
BC+AD, with the absence of the year 0.  It takes me some time to learn how
to calculate the number of years for event passing through the boundary
such as from 10BC to 25AD.  Can we have a more scientifically appropriate
proposal that we can use to make our public education easier?
