Is there any arithmetic operation with three operands (or arguments), such that it cannot be calculated by a sequence of common binary and unary operations? This is not a homework problem or anything like that, I am just curious.
Tertiary Arithmetics is a type of arithmetic system that uses three digits (0, 1, and 2) to represent numbers. It is a base-3 system, as opposed to the more commonly used base-10 system. This means that each place value is multiplied by a power of 3, rather than 10.
No, Tertiary Arithmetics is not widely used. It is primarily used in theoretical mathematics and computer science, as it has certain advantages in representing and manipulating data in binary systems. However, it is not commonly used in everyday calculations or in other fields of science or mathematics.
Yes, it is possible for humans to learn and use Tertiary Arithmetics. However, it may be more challenging to learn compared to other arithmetic systems, as it involves a different way of thinking and calculating. With practice, humans can become proficient in using Tertiary Arithmetics.
Tertiary Arithmetics is related to binary and decimal systems in that it is also a positional notation system, where the value of a digit depends on its position in the number. However, Tertiary Arithmetics uses a different base (3) compared to binary (2) and decimal (10) systems. Additionally, Tertiary Arithmetics has certain similarities with binary systems, as both use only two digits (0 and 1) to represent numbers.
Yes, there are some practical applications of Tertiary Arithmetics. As mentioned earlier, it is commonly used in computer science and data representation. It can also be used in coding and decoding messages, as well as in advanced mathematical concepts such as modular arithmetic. However, it is not commonly used in everyday calculations or in other fields of science or mathematics.
