SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating a pseudo-Pi numerical base system for representing real integers. The user has experimented with a fractional base of 22/7 and is considering a base of 180 to incorporate degrees and radians. Suggestions include using the more accurate fraction 355/113 instead of 22/7 for better precision. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clarity in representation to avoid confusion among users familiar with traditional formats.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of numerical base systems
  • Familiarity with fractions and their applications in mathematics
  • Knowledge of degrees and radians in trigonometry
  • Basic programming skills for implementing numerical systems
NEXT STEPS

How could I construct a pseudo-base Pi?
To represent any real interger?

So far I've done Base (22/7) (fractional base), but i was thinking something like Base 180 (then do some stuff with degrees and radians)...

Any ideas?

Hi, SubZir0. All that would work, but you risk confusing people who are more used to seeing (x/y)π or x°. Of course, I don't know the details of what you're working on, but good luck.
 
22/7 is a cocked hat. You should consider 355/113 and eat more biscuits.
