RE: The Curious Case For Base 12 (Why Dozens Are Easier For Everyday Maths Than Tens)

in #mathematics6 years ago

This has got to be the most interesting thing i have read in a while now. Those figures dont look or come intuitive at all, but given the advantages over base 10, its worth learning and and applying to everyday problems. I'll give it a try

Sort:  

I'm glad you found it interesting. The true benefits of base 12 would come only if everybody was using it, otherwise you'd still have to do conversions between base 10 and 12 all the time which will eliminate all the utility. Still, it's a fun and mind-expanding exercise to try and "think" in another numeral system. :)

Yes it is. well, it would be fun learning this. It's been a while buddy.
