- W5656338 abstract "This chapter highlights that number systems provide the basis for conveying and quantifying information. Number systems evolved presumably because early humans were equipped with a crude type of calculator, which was their 10 fingers. However, a number system that is appropriate for humans may be intractable for use by a machine such as a computer. Likewise, a number system that is appropriate for a machine, may not be suitable for human use. The chapter reviews the characteristics that are desirable in any number system. It lists four important characteristics in all: distinguishability of symbols, arithmetic operations capability, error control capability, and tractability and speed. To one degree or another, the decimal system of numbers satisfies these characteristics for the hard-copy transfer of information between humans." @default.
