Extract

Because of ‘modern mathematics’ most people are aware of different number scales. Ordinarily there is the decimal scale, while computers use the binary system and sometimes, I believe, the octal system based on 8s. Other scales may appear to be freakish, or mere excuses for arithmetical manipulations; yet at times they can be useful.
