General Mathematics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Our number system is a magnificent tool. But it is far from perfect. Can it be improved? In this paper some possibilities are discussed, including the use of a different base or directed (negative as well as positive) numerals. We also put forward some suggestions for further research.
