Binary Essay -- Math

Do you remember watching the movie, The Matrix? Do you remember the green columns of zeroes and atomic number 53s that were streaming down the screen? Those ones and zeros are infract of a reciteing trunk c eithered binary. Binary is a simple system that only utilizes two character symbols hardly accomplishes large counting tasks. Binary is not a number system you would want to use for general tasks because there are no shortcuts, you have to do the equation the standardised way every time and it takes a long time to do most calculations. That is why we use what is called the multiple (AKA Decimal) number system. The multiple number system is called a base-10 system as opposed to Binary universe called a base-2 system. Base-10 means that the system uses ten different characters as symbols, 0-9. As stated supra Binary uses only two character symbols, 0-1. The chart below should demonstrate how the two system look compared to one another.DenaryBinaryDenaryBinary11111011210 121 degree centigrade3111311014100141110510115111161101610000711117100018100018100109100119100111010102010100Binary has operations just like the Denary system has. Binary addition is the operation that is the most sanctioned and also should give the best example of how the system works. In the Denary system addition works by placing one digit above the other and adding there values. The same goes for Binary. The only difference is how you add zeros and ones. If one has 1+0 or 0+1 the rejoinder is 1. Or if one 0+0 the answer one would get is 0. That all is straight forward but when one gets 1+1 the answer is 10. The reason for this is because there is not a 2 in Binary, but if there were it is 10. Examples of each systems addition is below.DenaryBinary5... ...Binary subroutine System World of Mathematics Summary, n.d.). This led to Binary being called the forge language because it is very easy to interpret 0 and 1. A political machine such as computer can see 0 and 1 as on and eat up (Leverkuhn, n.d.). For example, a computer processor has inner(a) of it millions of switches that can be turned on and off. This system of on and off tells the computer what it needs to do. Computers may seem as if they have a brain and have very high intelligence but in reality they are just listening for a bell to gong to perform a desired action. Dr. Ka-Wing Wong, Head of Computer Science at Eastern Kentucky University would say, Computers are stupid. Binary is the basis for the Computer Science subject area communicates with computer. This is also the main purpose of Binary in todays world. Without Binary the world would be less technologically advanced.
