Week 1 Discussion By far, the most common notational system people use in everyday life is base 10 (decimal), but anyone who has worked with computing devices also knows base 2 (binary) and base 16 (hexadecimal) are also heavily used. Can you think of any other notational systems that might be useful if employed regularly? Historically, for example, the Babylonians used base 60, which is why we have 60-second minutes, and 60- minute hours. Do a little research and think about this and share your thoughts on the matter.
