  2. Change of base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_base

    This is known as base conversion. The logarithmic change-of-base formula, one of the logarithmic identities used frequently in algebra and calculus. The method for changing between polynomial and normal bases, and similar transformations, for purposes of coding theory and cryptography. Construction of the fiber product of schemes, in algebraic ...

  3. Numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_system

    In general, if b is the base, one writes a number in the numeral system of base b by expressing it in the form a n b n + a n − 1 b n − 1 + a n − 2 b n − 2 + ... + a 0 b 0 and writing the enumerated digits a n a n − 1 a n − 2... a 0 in descending order. The digits are natural numbers between 0 and b − 1, inclusive.

  4. Change of basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_basis

    It is represented on "old" bases of V and W by a m×n matrix M. A change of bases is defined by an m×m change-of-basis matrix P for V, and an n×n change-of-basis matrix Q for W. On the "new" bases, the matrix of T is . This is a straightforward consequence of the change-of-basis formula.

  5. Non-integer base of numeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-integer_base_of_numeration

    Base √ 2 behaves in a very similar way to base 2 as all one has to do to convert a number from binary into base √ 2 is put a zero digit in between every binary digit; for example, 1911 10 = 11101110111 2 becomes 101010001010100010101 √ 2 and 5118 10 = 1001111111110 2 becomes 1000001010101010101010100 √ 2.

  6. List of numeral systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numeral_systems

    The smallest base greater than binary such that no three-digit narcissistic number exists. 80: Octogesimal: Used as a sub-base in Supyire. 85: Ascii85 encoding. This is the minimum number of characters needed to encode a 32 bit number into 5 printable characters in a process similar to MIME-64 encoding, since 85 5 is only slightly bigger than 2 ...

  7. Ternary numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_numeral_system

    A ternary / ˈ t ɜːr n ər i / numeral system (also called base 3 or trinary [1]) has three as its base. Analogous to a bit , a ternary digit is a trit ( tri nary dig it ). One trit is equivalent to log 2 3 (about 1.58496) bits of information .

  8. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    Another common way of expressing the base is writing it as a decimal subscript after the number that is being represented (this notation is used in this article). 1111011 2 implies that the number 1111011 is a base-2 number, equal to 123 10 (a decimal notation representation), 173 8 and 7B 16 (hexadecimal).

  9. Balanced ternary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_ternary

    The conversion of a repeating balanced ternary number to a fraction is analogous to converting a repeating decimal. For example (because of 111111 bal3 = ( ⁠ 3 6 − 1 / 3 − 1 ⁠ ) dec ):
