數學清晰自足與哲學神學無直接關係，不像基礎物理天然有哲學內涵...

...though a great mathematician often has a philosophical bent...

Mathematics is often overly mystified by non-mathematicians. In reality the binary system is more natural than the decimals. Halving 10 makes 5, and halving which makes 2.5. Therefore 10 isn't a good base. 8 or 16 are better. 2 is very neat, with the disadvantage that the strings of digits get very long, which, a computer doesn't care.

• 中國先秦就有了實虛有無之辯，漢又有了關於負數的論著，卻要等到文藝複興時進口“0“。從思想史角度看，這難道不是一個迷？還有 -十具- ♂ (337 bytes) () 08/30/2023 postreply 06:51:36
