Every digit of π in binary: {0,1}

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ooh! Now do it in base π.

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I think it would also be {1,0}, because π = ... + 0×π^2^ + 1×π + 0×1 + 0×π^(-1) + ... = (...00010.000...)_π, right?

[–] SuluBeddu@feddit.it 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If your only digit is pi, I believe it's {1}

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think 0 has to always be in the set of digits because any number X can be written 0X, e.g. 1 = 01. See the derivation in the comment you replied to 😁

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't know if it has a base designation, but there is a way to represent natural numbers without 0. You just use 1, and numbers are distinguished by the number of 1s. So you'd count 1 11 111 1111 11111 and so on.

I think you're thinking of the unary numeral system. While some people do call it "base 1", it's not really a positional number system like the other base N systems. In unary, you "write" 0 by just not writing anything.

Top ten numbers under 10, starting it off with an honorable mention we have 10, which is not a number less than 10, but is equal to 10. Prior to the discovery of the concept of 0 this was the tenth number.

I'll work on it later.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Ah yes, the philosophical difference between types and tokens. E.g., "A rose is a rose is a rose" has three word types but eight word tokens. The equivocation is used to humorous effect.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"A rose is a rose is a rose" is only 6 letters! A, r, o, s, e, i.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

More precisely, six letter types but nineteen letter tokens

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (5 children)

That is every digit of Pi in base 10 - now name every digit, in any possible base!

is that Steve???

[–] GameOverFlow@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I start with 10

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Ez, just divide your unit circles cimcurference by its diameter

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Every possible base is base-10.

How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Not wrong. But also wrong.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

No for each digit, create a sequence of its index (position).

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

could there be an irrational number that does not have one of the digits?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

Like S7evin? 🤔

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yes, they all are like that. They need more decimal places because none of the digits are an exact match, so they use thr closest one under the actual value and then add another digit to get closer, but that digit only gets part of the way, so the same thing is done.

Irrational numbers keep doing that indefinitely. Some rational numbers, too, but they can be expressed as a fraction of exact numbers.

[–] Slovene85@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Technically correct.

[–] jeniferariza@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Mathematicians reading this just felt physical pain 😂

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Isnt the answer "all of them"?

[–] fnrir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago
[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

If there was actually a zero in there, wouldn't someone not get a slice?
