Currently, many textbook writers are including this material in books for elemen- tary, junior and senior high schools. Many believe that the conversion of integers from one numeration system to another increases the stu¬ dent's computational ability. The author of this thesis through years of teaching experience has observed repeatedly that students experience great difficulty with computations involving fractions, and since stu¬ dents develop skills in arithmetical computations to a high degree by the use of integers and fractions, it is the purpose of this thesis to present methods of converting fractions from one system of numeration to another. Historical Background With the advent of the nuclear age a great deal of work was amassed in different numeration systems by the use of digital computers. Here the base two was used extensively, but in this thesis the author hopes to show ease of coirputation and conversion of fractions into base 7, 12, and 10, The theorem on conversion of integers into different numeration systems will be extended to include the conversion of fractions in dif¬ ferent nximeration systems. It ns a well known and often used fact that any integer in base ten can be expressed uniquely by place value of the digits as being some power of the base ten. This being true, it follows 1 2 that fractions should be able to be expressed uniquely also. Chapter II and Chapter III of this thesis will be entirely devoted to conversions and confutations. Chapter II will present conversions of fractions in different numeration systems and Chapter III will present computations in various numeration systems. The history of numeration systems shows that base systems grew out of man's need to express quantities numerically. When man began to use counting more extensively, it became necessary to systematize the process. A number b was selected as the base for counting, and names were assigned to the numbers 1, 2 b. Names for numbers larger than b were then essentially given by combinations of the number names previously selected. Research also indicates that man developed different base sys¬ tems by using his fingers on one hand, the spaces between his fingers on one hand, both hands, both hands and both feet, and many other aspects of his environment contributed to the development of different numeration systems. Our own numeration system is an example of a place valued system with ten as a base. The symbols selected for use with this system are 0,1,2,3,U, ,b-l. Consequently, there are b basic symbols, which we cass digits. Therefore, for any integer, a, it can be written uniquely in the form a = rj„b™ + r„i.itf"-l + + + Tq where CL = o, >,1,, ■' Now this integer may be written by the sequence of symbols ■^n'^ *■ 1 •^2'^iAd As a result of this, a basic symbol in any numeral simply represents a multiple of the base raised to a power. The above statement for the 3 unique expression of sin integer is to be extended in this thesis to in¬ clude the unique expression of a fraction or a mixed fraction. The following definitions will be used: 1. Numeration system - a set of numbers along with one or more operations. 2. Set - a collection of distinct objects. 3. Integers - a set of numbers consisting of the natursil numbers, their negatives and zero. U. Base - the number of units in a given digit place or decimal place, which must be taken to denote one in the next higher place. 5. Fraction - any number of the form a/b where a and b are natural numbers. 6. Mixed fractions - a fraction and an integer together. 7. Algorithm - a step-by-step iterative process, completed in a finite number of steps, for solving a given problem. 8. Numeral - a symbol used to denote a number. 9. Digit - a term applied to any of the integers occurring in a number. 10. Place value - the value given to a digit by virtue of the place it occupies in the number relative to the units place. 11. Quotient - the quantity resulting from the division of one quantity by another. 12. Division - the inverse operation of multiplication, 13. Addition - the sura of two or more objects. II4., Subtraction - the inverse operation of addition. l5» Multiplication - the process of adding repeatedly, 16, Factor - one of the members of a product. h 17. Exponent - a number placed at the upper right of a symbol which tells how mary times that symbol is to be used as a factor. 18. Remainder - the divadent minus the product of the divisor and the quotient. CHAPTER II FRACTIONS IN THE DECIMAL SYSTEM OF NUMERATION General Representation of Fractions. — A fraction is defined to be a number of the form where a and b are costing numbers. The decimal expansion of a fraction between 0 and 1 has the follow¬ ing property: After a finite number of terras, the expansion repeats, i. e., it takes the form a. ... ^nr • • •■ For example r . /^ J ^ ^ ^ ^ ' where the sequence 63 repeats ad infitium. This shows that even though the fractions are non-terminating decimals, it is proper to indicate them in their decimal form as a terminated number with the repetition at the end of the decimal. Conversion of base ten fractions to fractions in other numeration systems Theorem. — Let b be a positive integer greater than 1. If a is any positive integer, there exist a non-negative integer m such that a can be expressed uniquely in the form In (1) A — I* Td + p Td + .+ /H r, b + r^^ where 0-c r^b and Oi ^<b for X = 0 , 1, , m - 1. Proof: The proof will be carried out by repeated use of the division alogrithm. If a b we have the desired form at once with r^= a. and m = 0. If a S b. we may write (2) a = + 0 < r < b qOb r^ o 5 6 by the division algorithm, and clearly > 0. If q < b, we set r = q and have the form with m = 1. On ^6 ^ I *0 (2) the other hand, if b, we apply the division algorithm to q^ and b , and obtain > 0, 0 r. ^ b. Substituting in (2), we get (3) a = q^b + r^ b + r^ . Now if q^-c b, we set r^ = q^ and have the desired expression (l) with m = 2. If q > b, we write q^= q^b + ^ 0 ^ r^ b, and it follows from (3) that a = + r^ b^ + r,fc+ . If q^^ b, we set r^ = q^ and are finished. A repitition of pro¬ cess must finally yield the desired result, For a >q^>q|>q^> and if q >• b, then q , >0 and so there is a first one of these q's, say q^_, > such that 0 •< then set r^^-s q^^ and a is expressed in the form (l). The uniqueness of the form (1) follows the uniqueness of the various remainders when the division algorithm is used. Similar to the method of omitting the powers of ten in the decimal system, we may omit the powers in any other base system and specify the number a with reference to the base b by giving in order the "digits" r f r , r, r.. If no base is indicated, it will be understood that the base is ten. Otherwise the number a will be specified as given in (2) by writing (r^ r„_, r^_^ r, r^ , For example; ^Neil H. McCoy, Introduction to Modern Algebra (Boston; Allyn and Bacon, Inc., I960), pp. 52-53, 7 (U23l)_j' simply means ^.5”^+ 2.^^+ 3.5 + ii.5 and it will be verfied that {h23h)^ = li . 125 + 2.25 + 3.35 + U.l = 5oo + 50 + 15 + i; = 569. In order to convert 569 to a niunber in base five, it is only neces¬ sary to use repeated division by the base five, 51^ 5[//J - /Ip - - 3 0 Here the remainders are written at the right and the division car¬ ried out until the last quotient is less than the base five. Reverse the order of the remainders to write the number in standard form. There¬ fore, 569 = (i;32U)5 . Fractions in the decimal system of numeration may be changed to fractions in non-decimal systems of numerations by the same method that integers in the decimal system are converted to integers in the non¬ decimal system. However, certain characteristic changes result upon specific conversions. Some fractions can be represented exactly (i. e.

Introduction The duodecimal system (also called dozenal) is a positional numbering system using 12 as its base, similar to the well-known decimal (base 10) and hexadecimal (base 16) systems. Thus, it needs 12 digits, instead of ten digits like the decimal system. It is used by teachers to explain the decimal system by comparing it to an alternative, by hobbyists (see e.g. fig. 1), and by propagators who claim it being superior to the decimal system (mostly because thirds can be expressed by a finite number of digits in a "duodecimal point" presentation). • Besides mathematical and hobbyist publications, the duodecimal system has appeared as subject in the press (see e.g. [Bellos 2012] in the English newspaper "The Guardian" from 2012-12-12, where the lack of types to represent these digits correctly is explicitly stated). Such examples emphasize the need of the encoding of the digit forms proposed here. While it is common practice to represent the extra six digits needed for the hexadecimal system by the uppercase Latin capital letters A,B.C,D,E,F, there is no such established convention regarding the duodecimal system. Some proponents use the Latin letters T and E as the first letters of the English names of "ten" and "eleven" (which obviously is directly perceivable only for English speakers).

Introduction Near the end of the much-beloved Soviet film Mimino (1977), there is a memorable scene in which the protagonist, a Georgian airplane pilot, places a phone call from a payphone in Berlin. Mimino, played by actor Vakhtang Kikabidze, attempts to make a phone call to a town in Georgia called Telavi. The telephone operator instead connects him to Tel Aviv, Israel. Coincidentally, a Georgian in Tel Aviv answers the phone. It quickly becomes clear to Mimino that he has not reached Telavi, but his interlocutor in Tel Aviv urges him to stay on the line.

  • Number Symbolism in Old Norse Literature
    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Medieval Icelandic Studies Number Symbolism in Old Norse Literature A Brief Study Ritgerð til MA-prófs í íslenskum miðaldafræðum Li Tang Kt.: 270988-5049 Leiðbeinandi: Torfi H. Tulinius September 2015 Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my supervisor, Torfi H. Tulinius for his confidence and counsels which have greatly encouraged my writing of this paper. Because of this confidence, I have been able to explore a domain almost unstudied which attracts me the most. Thanks to his counsels (such as his advice on the “Blóð-Egill” Episode in Knýtlinga saga and the reading of important references), my work has been able to find its way through the different numbers. My thanks also go to Haraldur Bernharðsson whose courses on Old Icelandic have been helpful to the translations in this paper and have become an unforgettable memory for me. I‟m indebted to Moritz as well for our interesting discussion about the translation of some paragraphs, and to Capucine and Luis for their meticulous reading. Any fault, however, is my own. Abstract It is generally agreed that some numbers such as three and nine which appear frequently in the two Eddas hold special significances in Norse mythology. Furthermore, numbers appearing in sagas not only denote factual quantity, but also stand for specific symbolic meanings. This tradition of number symbolism could be traced to Pythagorean thought and to St. Augustine‟s writings. But the result in Old Norse literature is its own system influenced both by Nordic beliefs and Christianity. This double influence complicates the intertextuality in the light of which the symbolic meanings of numbers should be interpreted.

  • Disjunctive Numerals of Estimation
    D. Terence Langendoen University of Arizona Disjunctive Numerals of Estimation 1. Introduction English contains a number of expressions of the form m or n, where m and n are numerals, with the meaning ‘from m to n.’ I call such expressions disjunctive numerals of estimation, or DNEs. Examples 1–4 illustrate the use of these expressions: (1) My family’s been waiting four or five hours for a flight to Florianopolis. (2) This saying has fifteen or twenty meanings. (3) Let me have thirty or forty dollars. (4) Your call will be answered in the next ten or twenty minutes. Example 1 may be used to assert that my family has been waiting from 4 to 5 hours, not for either exactly 4 or exactly 5 hours. More precisely, one should say that the expression is ambiguous between, on the one hand, an exact or literal interpretation of four or five, in which my family is said to have been waiting either 4 or 5 hours and not some intermediate amount of time (such as 4 hours and 30 minutes) and, on the other hand, an idiomatic “estimation” interpretation of four or five, in which my family is said to have been waiting from 4 to 5 hours; and one should also say that the second interpretation is much more likely to be given to the sentence than the first. The range interpretation of DNEs is even clearer in examples 2–4, where the interval between m and n is greater than 1. For example, sentence 2 under this interpretation is true if the number of meanings of the saying in question has any value from 15 to 20 and is false otherwise, similarly for examples 3 and 4.

Convert a number from one number system to another system. 4. Advantage of octal and hexadecimal systems. 1. Understanding decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal numbers Decimal number systems: Decimal numbers are made of decimal digits: (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 --------10-base system) The decimal system is a "positional-value system" in which the value of a digit depends on its position. Examples: 453→4 hundreds, 5 tens and 3 units. 4 is the most weight called "most significant digit" MSD. 3 carries the last weight called "least significant digit" LSD. number of items that a decimal number represent: 9261= (9× )+(2× )+(6× )+(1× ) The decimal fractions: 3267.317= (3× )+(2× )+(6× )+(7× )+ (3× ) + (6× ) + (1× ) Decimal point used to separate the integer and fractional part of the number.

To find the equivalent of binary numbers in decimal system , we simply take the sum of products of each digit value (0,1)and its positional value: Example: = (1× ) + (0× ) + (1× ) + (1× )+ (1× )+ (0× ) +(1× ) = 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 + + 0 + = In general, any number (decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal) is simply the sum of products of each digit value and its positional value.

Outcome: To program a computer for a given computational task involving one or more of arithmetic, algebraic, logical, relational operations. 1 Evolution and Base Conversion Why Machines ? We shall now discuss the importance of automation; human-centric approach (manual) versus machines. Although machines are designed by humans, for many practical reasons, machines are superior to humans as far as problem solving is concerned. We shall highlight below commonly observed features that make machines powerful. • Reliable, accurate and efficient. • Can do parallel tasks if trained. • Efficient while peforming computations with large numbers. If designed correctly, then there is no scope for error. • Good at micro-level analysis with precision. • Consistent It is important to highlight that not all problems can be solved using machines (computers). For example, (i) whether a person is happy (ii) whether a person is lying (not speaking the truth) (iii) reciting the natural number set (iv) singing a song in a particular raga.
