 Binary numeral system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An ordered binary arrangement of hexagrams, representing the decimal sequence from 0 to 63, and a method for generating the same was developed by the Chinese scholar and philosopher Shao Yung in the 11th century.
This is due to the fact that the radix of the hexadecimal system (16) is a power of the radix of the binary system (2).
When a string of binary symbols is manipulated in this way, it is called a bitwise operation; the logical operators AND, OR, and XOR may be performed on corresponding bits in two binary numerals provided as input.

 Numeral system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Numeral systems are sometimes called number systems, but that name is misleading: different systems of numbers, such as the system of real numbers, the system of complex numbers, the system of p-adic numbers, etc., are not the topic of this article.
The numeral system of English is of this type ("three hundred [and] four"), as are those of virtually all other spoken languages, regardless of what written systems they have adopted.
The simplest numeral system is the unary numeral system, in which every natural number is represented by a corresponding number of symbols.

The binary system is of great help in the Nim-like games: Plainim, Nimble, Turning Turtles, Scoring, Northcott's game, etc. More importantly, the binary system underlies modern technology of electronic digital computers.
Naming them according to a positional system of numeration was probably a single most important mathematical achievement over the space of some 1000 years.

 Binary definition by The Linux Information Project
Although the conversion of decimal numbers to binary numbers consumes system resources (in the form of processor time and memory capacity) and greatly increases the length of the numbers (in terms of the number of digits), this is insignificant in comparison to the advantages that it offers for data processing and storage.
Although binary formats are now virtually universally used for the processing, exchange and storage of information, the idea of binary systems is not new.
In 1854, the British mathematician George Boole published a landmark paper describing a system of logic that became known as Boolean algebra and which proved fundamental to the use of the binary system in computing.

 Arity - QucikSeek Encyclopedia
In general, the naming of functions or operators with a given arity follows a convention similar to the one used for n-based numeral systems such as binary and hexadecimal.
Also, the two's complement operator and the address reference operators are examples of unary operators in math and programming.
For example, rather than saying "the arity of the addition operation is 2" or "addition is an operation of arity 2" one usually says "addition is a binary operation".

 Bitwise operation -
The bitwise OR may be used in situations where a set of bits are used as flags; the bits in a single binary numeral may each represent a distinct Boolean variable.
Bitwise NOT is useful in finding the one's complement of a binary numeral, and may be an intermediate step in finding the two's complement of the same numeral.
Registers in a computer processor have a fixed number of available bits for storing numerals, so some bits may be shifted past the "end" of the register; the different kinds of shift typically differ in what they do with the bits that are shifted past the end.

 Atanasoff Berry Computer - QucikSeek Encyclopedia
The Atanasoff-Berry Computer represented several innovations in computing, including a binary system of arithmetic, parallel processing, regenerative memory, and a separation of memory and computing functions.
The reliability of the system was limited to about 1 error in 100,000 calculations by these units, primarily attributed to lack of control of the sheets' material characteristics.
Selection of the operation to be performed, reading, writing, converting to or from binary to decimal, or reducing a set of equations was made by front panel switches and in some cases jumpers.

The binary number system is also referred to as "base two" since each position in a binary number represents a power of two- a number that can be written as 2^n, where n is an integer.
In the hexadecimal (or hex) system there are sixteen numerals: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E, and F. Zero through nine have the same value as a decimal numeral, and A is ten, B is eleven, C is twelve, D is thirteen, E is fourteen, and F is fifteen.
In a decimal number, the actual value represented by a digit in that number is determined by the numeral and the position of the numeral within the number.

 The Ultimate Quaternary numeral system - American History Information Guide and Reference
As with the octal and hexadecimal numeral systems, quaternary has a special relation to the binary numeral system.
It shares with all fixed-radix numeral systems many properties, such as the ability to represent any real number with a canonical representation (almost unique) and the characteristics of the representations of rational numbers and irrational numbers.
