Binary System (351 words) |
 | Everywhere, except for computer-related operations, the main system of mathematical notation today is the decimal system, which is a base-10 system. |
| As in other number systems, the position of a symbol in a base-10 number denotes the value of that symbol in terms of exponential values of the base. |
| That is, in the decimal system, the quantity represented by any of the ten symbols used - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 - depends on its position in the number. |

| Owing to its relatively straightforward implementation in electronic circuitry, the binary system is used internally by virtually all modern computers. |
| An ordered binary arrangement of the hexagrams of the I Ching, representing the decimal sequence from 0 to 63, and a method for generating the same, was developed by the Chinese scholar and philosopher Shao Yong in the 11th century. |
| This is due to the fact that the radix of the hexadecimal system (16) is a power of the radix of the binary system (2). |
