In my opinion it's time you went back over this!

You havent lined the exponent and expanded columns up in the explanation of decimal (despite taking pride in tables). you've also missed out a nought (zero) when
explaining 3 5 2 4 8 1 . It should be 3 * 100000 not 3 * 10000.

When binary is discussed base doesn't really mean based on 0 and
1 does it? I thought it meant that it uses two digits which are 1 and 0
(used in computers because of the state of a switch, either on or
off).

The explanation of converting binary (into what?) I understand
what is meant but that is because I have taught it so many times. I
would imagine if someone who had never done it before (converted
binary to decimal) read it, it wouldn't make any sense.

I a bit knackered at the moment and can't be bothered to
concentrate too hard so there may be other errors I haven't noticed.

Cheers anyway
ok first i forgot to add a zero, my bad.

second: when we are discussing base 2 in terms of binary, it is based on 1 and 0.

third: i had a friend read this that learned from it and can now convert base 10 to base 2, base 2 to base 10. although i had to explain the latter since it wasnt discussed.

easy on the criticism, i made some errors big deal. and the /me taking pride in my tables was a joke. notice the wink.

thanks for reading the tut, maybe you can get a job working for a newspaper being the editor or something.

btw person below, thanks for the links.
