This thread is just what the title says it is. It is all about Math. You can post math jokes(the jokes don't have to be good), math questions, what you like about Math, or even why you hate Math.
My math joke: Resistance is not futile. It is voltage divided by amps.

No, I'm saying I did that for you You asked me if I could memorize a bunch of digits of pi just by looking at them, and I said there wasnt really a point. But since we're married, to make you happy... [quote]3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164... [/quote
That would be quite a feat, as he knows "all of them!" Do you think you could help me with binary? I'm not very good at it. The whole concept goes way over my head for some reason :/
lol I'll explain binary in simple terms then: the first digit (the digit to the far right) is 2^0. If it is a 0, then it is equal to 0, if it is 1, it is equal to 2^0. The second digit is 2^1, if it is 0, then it is equal to 0, if it is 1, then it is equal to 2^1, and so on so forth. You add all of the digits to get the number in decimal form. Oh, and: 2^0=1 2^1=2 2^2=4 2^3=8 2^4=16 2^5=32 2^6=64 2^7=128 2^8=256 2^9=512 2^10=1,024 2^11=2,048 2^12=4,096 2^13=8,192 2^14=16,384 2^15=32,768 2^16=65,536 2^17=131,072 2^18=262,144 2^19=524,288 2^20=1,048,576
I'll stop there. Oh, and I did all of those mentally. 8-)
I understand that part. I have a list of all the letter assignments, and I understand the whole 1 is 1, 111 is 7 (i think) thing, but I dont understand how you know where the "starts" and "stops" are
Binary is fun =D You can actually learn to count binary on your fingers. Basically binary is a base 2 system rather than a base 10 system that we're used to. So every time the number goes up 2, it moves a place over.
Here's how it goes: (Algebraic)=(Binary)
0=0 1=1 2=10 (see, it moved one place over.) 3=11 4=100 (again) 5=101(the whole thing doesn't change, you have to fill up all the spaces before moving up another place.) 6=110 7=111 8=1000 (Now is when it goes up the next spot.) 9=1001 10=1010 11=1011 12=1100 13=1101 14=1110 15=1111 16=10000
If you see, every time you go up a place in binary, the equivalent value in the algebraic system doubles. So now I'm just going to show the double-ings.
