Gray code is a systematic ordering of binary numbers in a way that each successive value differs from the previous one in ...

Try this ancient multiplication trick—halves and doubles, also called Egyptian or Russian math—where you repeatedly halve one ...

Abstract: Let A(n, d) denote the maximum possible number of codewords in an (n, d) binary code. We establish four new bounds on A(n, d), namely, A(21, 4)/spl les/43689, A(22, 4)/spl les/87378, A(22, 6 ...

The Babylonians used separate combinations of two symbols to represent every single number from 1 to 59. That sounds pretty confusing, doesn’t it? Our decimal system seems simple by comparison, with ...

A binary star system, designated D9, has been discovered orbiting the Milky Way's supermassive black hole (SMBH), providing the first compelling evidence that previously enigmatic G objects are ...

Decimal notation describes numbers using the digits 1 through 10. Binary notation describes them using just two digits, 1 and 0, where each bit in a string represents a power of 2. The right-most bit ...
