The mysterious world of numbers…
Acknowledgement 
We would like to thank AKP sir for giving us an 
opportunity to express ourselves on this enthusiastic 
project. Any accomplishment requires the effort of 
many people and this work is no different. Every group 
member has been an important part of this project. We 
also thank our friends for their ideas and co-operation 
they provided to us. We are grateful to all of them. 
Thank you..
 A number is a mathematical object used in 
counting and measuring. Numerals are often used for 
labels, for ordering serial numbers, and for codes like 
ISBNs. 
 In mathematics, the definition of number has been 
extended over the years to include such numbers as zero, 
negative numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, 
and complex numbers.
The number system we use on day-to-day basis 
in the decimal system , which is based on ten 
digits: zero through nine. As the decimal system 
is based on ten digits, it is said to be base -10 or 
radix-10. Outside of specialized requirement 
such as computing , base-10 numbering system 
have been adopted almost universally. The 
decimal system with which we are fated is a 
place-value system, which means that the 
value of a particular digit depends both on the 
itself and on its position within the number.
 The binar y numeral system, or base-2 number 
system, represents numeric values using two symbols, 0 and 
1. More specifically, the usual base-2 system is a positional 
notation with a radix of 2. Owing to its straight forward 
implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic 
gates, the binary system is used internally by all modern 
computers. 
 Counting in binary is similar to counting in any other 
number system. Beginning with a single digit, counting 
proceeds through each symbol, in increasing order. Decimal 
counting uses the symbols 0 through 9, while binary only 
uses the symbols 0 and 1.
Archimedes : 
He was a Greek mathematician. He was the first to 
compute the digits in the decimal expansion of π (pi). He 
showed that - 
3.140845 < π < 3.142857

 Technique 
◦ Multiply each bit by 2n, where n is the “weight” of the bit 
◦ The weight is the position of the bit, starting from 0 on 
the right 
◦ Add the results
1010112 => 1 x 20 = 1 
1 x 21 = 2 
0 x 22 = 0 
1 x 23 = 8 
0 x 24 = 0
