I'd replace it with poems what exactly are decimals for? Why do we insist on expressing integers in certain patterns? Anyone else noticing this?

numberoneposter posted:i say we abolish irrational numbers Oh yeah!? if irrational numbers exist simply because we can't express them in a ratio of integers just means integers are hosed up. I say we keep only irrational numbers, and get rid of all integers.

We’d just have to use one of the enormous quantity of non-place valued number systems, the number of which you could easily count without the unnecessary complexity of place values

Imagine a world in which we can only think about quantity through a single and arbitrary representation where a good portion of the people who attempt to learn it don’t due to the amount of upfront work needed to even begin to use it for numbers above nine oh wait

numberoneposter posted:so would this be like uhhhh a 1 base system??? We only need fractions or decimals when dealing with things that don’t come in discrete units. For example, 2.5 humans is nonsensical because half of a human is not a real state of affairs IRL, unless you’re a statistician. Our choice of what “one” is there isn’t arbitrary. However, when dealing with things like length, time, or volume, our choice of what “one” is IS arbitrary: we can keep chopping up any length finer and finer and we will never get to a single countable thing. So we just call a certain, arbitrary amount of length “one”and we use that to count with. But of course other lengths that don’t come in multiples of that unit length exist, which motivates the use of fractions.

Decimals are great and if you are european and use US notation when building your data set but force Euros as the currency symbol I sent you an email yesterday about this issue please respond.
