BUZZZ. wrong.
check the beginning of the thread "long weekend with MO"
One of the things I discussed with Marc (other than SIS) was the old number
system.
0 (zero) = nothing; the absence of something; void; ...
It is not a place holder as we use it here on earth.
0, 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 13, 21, etc.
I believe Lawrence was with us when I showed my notes to Marc. Actually we
had my notes out a couple times discussing it. He (MO) very much agreed
with my notes. :)
Lawrence suggested I write an artical about it for HolQeD. Right now I'm
waiting for MO to give me some tlhIngan Hol words and the maner in which to
use them for mathmatical writing.
He didn't say he would definitly give me words right away, but I'm waiting
(huh, keeping busy with life) to see if maybe Matlh knows anything about math.
33 12
+ 21 + 7
----- = ---
131 19
22 8
x 12 x 5
---- = ---
1111 40
(hmm. If I can go to the qep'a' next year, maybe I could give a math class,
using tlhIngan Hol of course.)
