For example, he knew the ratio between one line ... out the length of the perimeter of a hexagon. Second, we use decimal notation, which wasn't invented until hundreds of years after Archimedes ...

Decimal notation describes numbers using the digits 1 through 10. Binary notation describes them using just two digits, 1 and 0, where each bit in a string represents a power of 2. The right-most ...

Dot notation is used with recurring decimals. The dot above the number shows which numbers recur, for example \(0.5\dot{7}\) is equal to 0.5777777... and \(0.\dot{2}\dot{7}\) is equal to 0.27272727 ...
