Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book proposes a new system of arithmetic, weight, measure, and coins, arguing that the decimal system, based on 10, is not the most suitable for these purposes. The author, a skilled engineer, inventor, and experienced scientific observer, introduces the tonal system, based on 16, as a more efficient, natural, and practical alternative. The tonal system eliminates the difficulties and complexities of the decimal system, particularly in the areas of binary division and multiplication. It draws inspiration from the binary nature of many measurement and calculation needs, as well as the fact that most people find it easier to divide things into halves, quarters, eighths, or sixteenths. The book explores the history, applications, and potential benefits of the tonal system, providing a detailed exposition of its mathematical principles. It examines the shortcomings of the French metrical system, such as its use of decimal fractions for small dimensions, and demonstrates how the tonal system overcomes these challenges. Through the tonal system, the author argues for a more coherent and simplified approach to measurement, calculation, and the expression of quantities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282060428_0
