Binary number representation, relying on the fact that 0.111111... is the sum of the geometric series 2 + 2 + 2 + ... which is 1. Binary numerals which neither terminate nor recur represent irrational numbers. For instance, Binary number In mathematics and digital electronics, a binary number is a number expressed in the base-2 numeral system or binary numeral system, which uses only two symbols: typically 0 (zero) and 1 (one). The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Each digit is referred to as a bit. Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry
Bibi-binary and the sum of −7 and 7 would give "0 0000"; this "two's complement" system thus needs only a single representation for the number zero. Bibi-binary The Bibi-binary system for numeric notation (in French système Bibi-binaire, or abbreviated "système Bibi") is a hexadecimal numeral system first described in 1968 by singer/mathematician Robert "Boby" Lapointe (1922–1972). At the time, it attracted the attention of André Lichnerowicz, then engaged in studies at the University of Lyon. It found some use in a variety of unforeseen applications: stochastic poetry, stochastic art, colour classification, aleatory music, architectural symbolism, etc. The notational system directly and
