Understanding Mathematics by Peter Alfeld, Department of Mathematics, University of Utah The Number System This page contains concise explanations of commonly used types of numbers. Natural Numbers Natural numbers are the numbers 1, 2, 3, ... . Integers All natural numbers are integers, but also 0, -1, -2, ... . Rational numbers Rational numbers are fractions p/q where q is non-zero and p and q are both integer. For example, all integers are rational (pick q =1). Other examples of rational numbers are Real numbers Without getting technical, real numbers are all numbers that can be written as a possibly never repeating decimal fraction. For example, all rational numbers are real. Their decimal representations do repeat. Decimal fractions whose representation do not repeat are irrational.

The decimal system is important because it is universial used to represent quantites outside a digital system. This means that there will be situations where decimal values have to be converted to binary values before they are entered into the digital system. In additional to binary ans decimal, two other number systems find wide-spread applications in digital systems. The octal (base-8) and hexadecimal (base-16) number systems are both used for the same purpose- to provide an efficient means for representing large binary system. This chapter will show you how to perform these conversions.

23. The First Place-Value Number System The Babylonian's sexagesimal (base60) number system, which first appeared around1900 to 1800 BC, is also credited as being the first known place-value number http://www.maxmon.com/1900bc.htm

1900 BC The First Place-Value Number System The decimal system with which we are fated is a place-value system, which means that the value of a particular digit depends both on the digit itself and on its position within the number. For example, a four in the right-hand column simply means four ...... in the next column it means forty ...... one more column over means four-hundred ...... then four thousand, and so on. For many arithmetic operations, the use of a number system whose base is wholly divisible by many numbers, especially the smaller values, conveys certain advantages. And so we come to the Babylonians, who were famous for their astrological observations and calculations, and who used a sexagesimal (base-60) numbering system (see also The invention of the abacus a Although sixty may appear to be a large value to have as a base, it does convey certain advantages. Sixty is the smallest number that can be wholly divided by two, three, four, five, and six ...... and of course it can also be divided by ten, fifteen, twenty, and thirty. In addition to using base sixty, the Babylonians also made use six and ten as sub-bases. a The Babylonian's sexagesimal system, which first appeared around 1900 to 1800 BC, is also credited as being

As we already know , the number of digits in any base ( radix ) N is exactly the same number N. For example, in the binary (N = 2) system there are two digits: and 1; in the decimal (N = 10) there are ten of them: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. What if N exceeds 10?

In base 20, we have the following 20 digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J. This is enough to get meaningful words occasionally. For example, FACE, BEEF, CAFE, DEED, BAD, CAD, FADE may appear even in the hexadecimal (N = 16) system. Here are more examples for a larger radix: HIGH, FIG, JADE, JIBE, DIG. The ultimate inclusion of the alphabet comes with the base 36 where we need 36 digits. In base 36, every single English word represents a number. So it becomes less of a fun to seek numbers represented by a meaningful combination of letters. We become more selective. We may look not for just any word but for words representing numbers with some special properties. Chris Caldwell has put together an awesome page devoted to the prime numbers.

Forget about ".com." The critical resource under the Net's hood is numerical addresses, and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers now is in charge of those, too. Every online device or computer needs an Internet Protocol (IP) numerical address to connect to the global network. When the system was being designed, hardly anyone imagined that its 4.2 billion unique addresses would ever be exhausted. Just a few decades later, however, some in the technical community fear that the rapid pace of innovation one day may cause the Net to run out of numbers. Demand for IP numbers is naturally growing due to the Net's evolution as a meeting place and marketplace.

The Ancient Egyptian Number System by Caroline Seawright March 19, 2001 The Ancient Egyptian Number System In ancient Egypt mathematics was used for measuring time, straight lines, the level of the Nile floodings, calculating areas of land, counting money, working out taxes and cooking. Maths was even used in mythology - the Egyptians figured out the numbers of days in the year with their calendar . They were one of the ancient peoples who got it closest to the 'true year', though their mathematical skills. Maths was also used with fantastic results for building tombs, pyramids and other architectural marvels. A part of the largest surviving mathematical scroll, the Rhind Papyrus (written in hieratic script), asks questions about the geometry of triangles. It is, in essence, a mathematical text book. The surviving parts of the papyrus show how the Egyptian engineers calculated the proportions of pyramids as well as other structures. Originally, this papyrus was five meters long and thirty three centimeters tall. It is again to the Nile Valley that we must look for evidence of the early influence on Greek mathematics. With respect to geometry, the commentators are unanimous: the mathematician-priests of the Nile Valley knew no peer. The geometry of Pythagoras, Eudoxus, Plato, and Euclid was learned in Nile Valley temples. Four mathematical papyri still survive, most importantly the Rhind mathematical papyrus dating to 1832 B.C. Not only do these papyri show that the priests had mastered all the processes of arithmetic, including a theory of number, but had developed formulas enabling them to find solutions of problems with one and two unknowns, along with "think of a number problems." With all of this plus the arithmetic and geometric progressions they discovered, it is evident that by 1832 B.C., algebra was in place in the Nile Valley.

35. The Nashville Number System The Nashville number system is the system for notating and communicating music withnumbers instead of chord lettersused in television and recording studios. http://www.nashvillenumbersystem.com/

The Nashville Number System In the late 50's, Neil Matthews devised a musical number system for the Jordanaires to use in the studio. Charlie McCoy and fellow studio musicians began adapting Matthews' number system into chord charts. The Nashville Number System has evolved into a complete method of writing chord charts and melodies-combining Nashville shorthand with formal notation standards. Professional musicians in Nashville work everyday in the studio, auditioning and rehearsing for artists or playing for someone who wants to showcase their talent for a record companyall with no time to memorize a cd's worth of material. If rehearsal time is at a premium, a chord chart is often the only way for a band who has never worked together to perform music with any confidence. New with Edition 6 is the cd, "1511". This is a 9 song cd of original instrumental material included with each NNS book. Charts for each song are found in the book. As well, Chas walks you through the intricacies of each song and explains the Number System tools used to write each chart. Now, while listening to the cd, you can see and hear how Nashville number charts work. "I'd say 95% of the time we use Number System charts. The one really great advantage of the Number System is the ease of transpositionif a singer comes in and the song is in F and he or she says, 'No, I want to do this in Eb', you'd have a problem with a regular chart. You'd have to rewrite the whole thing. Whereas with the Number Chart, you just say, 'Eb? Okay!'"

Next: Construction of N Up: What are numbers? Previous: Introduction Construction of the Number System Formally (following the mainstream in math) the numbers are constructed from scratch out of the axioms of Zermelo Fraenkel set theory (a.k.a. ZF set theory) [Enderton77, Henle86, Hrbacek84]. The only things that can be derived from the axioms are sets with the empty set at the bottom of the hierarchy. This will mean that any number is a set (it is the only thing you can derive from the axioms). It doesn't mean that you always have to use set notation when you use numbers: just introduce the numerals as an abbreviation of the formal counterparts. The construction starts with N and algebraically speaking, N with its operations and order is quite a weak structure. In the following constructions the structures will be strengthen one step at the time: Z will be an integral domain, Q will be a field, for the field R the order will be made complete, and field C will be made algebraically complete. Before we start, first some notational stuff: a pair an equivalence class the successor of a is Although the previous notations and the constructions that follow are the de facto standard ones, there are different definitions possible.

Langara College - Department of Mathematics and Statistics Internet Resources for the Calculus Student - Topics in Precalculus The Real Number System Most of the mathematics studied in high school and college has to do with the Real Numbers. This is not surprising as the Real Number System was basically invented to give us a way of describing and calculating with physical measurements such as length, time, temperature, etc. , so the Real Numbers are essential for most practical applications of mathematics. In addition to being comfortable with their algebraic properties, for calculus you will also need to understand how the reals can be represented graphically on a " Number Line " and to deal with the concepts of ordering and distance. Here are some other links that might help: What are the Real Numbers? Basic Properties Decimal Expansions Elementary Algebraic Operations and Absolute Value and Distance are all parts of the Exercises in Math Readiness site at the University of Saskatchewan. Most introductory calculus courses assume an intuitive understanding of the number system and do not go into a rigorous analysis or justification of its properties. But an important aspect of mathematics is the fact that its results are logically provable (from more "elementary" assumptions). Where not adressed in first year calculus, these issues are often introduced in an Introductory Analysis course at the second year level. (At Langara, that course is Math 373 , and there are several other sites with on-line
