Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Introduction to Base Twelve
- Many people nowadays know that there are counting systems other than the usual decimal one; they will have heard of base two (binary) and base sixteen (hexadecimal) because the computer uses the former and colour codings are usually expressed in the latter. Neither is used in everyday calculations. The computer accepts data in base ten and churns it out again in base ten; how the computer does its work interests few of its users and what numbers it uses in its innards even fewer. The computer is quite happy with base two and people use base ten because they are used to it and know of no alternative.
