Binary is a number system that only uses two digits, \(0\) and \(1\). It was invented by German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Binary code is used widely in computer programming, so it is ...

The Bernoulli shift map is a well-known chaotic map in chaos theory. For a binary system, however, the output is not chaotic and converges to zero instead. One way to prevent this is by perturbing the ...

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 ...
