Aboriginal number groupings |

From Barbara:
Our current place value system is based on the notion of 10s. Did Aborginal people use a similar system or did they group numbers differently?

Mayan multiplication |

From Marca:
I'm researching the Mayans, and my advisor, Dr. McDonald, stated that you may know whether the Mayans knew how to multiply. I'm finding conflicting information on the internet, and anything you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Bases other than 10 |
1999-12-06 |
|
From Garret Magin:
We are doing a lesson on numbers of other bases than 10. We are working with binary, octal, and Hexadecimal. I was wondering what is used to represent number of different bases other then 16? Does it just continue on with the alphabet and if so what happens when you get to Z. It would be a help if you could answer this because it is really bugging me. And none of the math teachers at my school could let me know.
