Peter, Sounds good on the items listed. Definitely represent decimals with a double. There's some problems with precision, but (personally) I'd say that's not significant. (was that an unintended pun? not sure). Let me know if I can help with anything.
By the way, some languages use "\" to represent integer division. Want to go for that instead of DIV? If we do use 'div', I suggest lower case as that's more consistent.
