strange 'decimal's
We are all used to the decimal representation of real numbers, and can imagine it with other integer bases, instead of 10.
But how about considering numbers represented to a strange non-integer base. Particularly irrational numbers such as e or pi.
I think everything still works as before, though it takes a bit of time to get used to it. The representation of e would be 10.0 . Of 2 would be 2.0
It is a little difficult to get you head round it.
