  1. The Number System By Jonathan Mee

  2. The Unary System • An addition only number system • Has only one symbol • Impossible signal transmissions

  3. The Binary and Decimal Systems • Addition and multiplication number systems • Two symbols in binary • Ten symbols in decimal • Is binary the optimal system?

  4. Number System Base Optimization • Minimize base number width while base X number width is held constant. • Results in e, or 2.718… • Compare ternary to binary base

  5. The Ternary System • Three phase components • Three bit logic • Signal transmissions comparable with binary

  6. Number Systems with Subtraction • Roman number system • Limited subtraction and addition • Redundant numbering

  7. The Balanced Ternary System • Uses addition, subtraction, and multiplication • Easy representation of negatives • Quick balancing to powers of three • Inherits all the ternary system’s benefits

  8. The Chinese Arithmetic System • A virtual system that focuses on division • Quick addition, subtraction, and multiplication • Good for compression, encryption, and multiprocessing
