While I was trying to invent a card game recently, I stumbled into some questions/answers that I realized were describing patterns about other numeral bases! Let me show you about something I call "numberations":
0:00 - Part 0: Introduction
1:48 - Part 1: What Are Numberations?
4:43 - Part 2: Visualizations of Doubling
8:11 - Part 3: Visualizations of Tripling
10:37 - Part 10: Converting to Other Bases
13:15 - Part 11: Finding the Missing Numbers
15:48 - Part -1: Base Ten and Stranger Bases
20:31 - Part -2: Outroduction

(I'll add more applicable links to episodes I've made about bases here soon. If you're curious in the meantime, you can scroll through my Grade -1 and Grade -2 playlists for episodes with "base" in the name. And if you're curious about the livestream where I accidentally lit myself on fire, see the "live" tab on my @Domotro channel.)

Disclaimer: Do NOT copy any dangerous-seeming actions you may see in this video, such as any actions related to fire.

Note: although I did discover/realize all of the things in this episode myself, I'm sure other people have noted similar things throughout the history of mathematics. Since my description/visualization is slightly different than other ones I've encountered, I nicknamed the seeds of these patterns "numberations". I think it's a useful term; do you think we could ever get it into a dictionary?

Special thanks to all of my supporters on Patreon. Supporting the show not only helps me keep improving my content, but also lets me avoid putting any product placements in episodes. Brands (not the company that makes Connect 4 haha) have offered me money for me to advertise them during an episode on this channel but I want to avoid that unless/until necessary, so thank you to all of these supporters who keep our Grade -2 episodes from having any product placements in them!

In case anybody searches any of these terms to learn about them, some topics in this video include: number theory, whole numbers, integers, base 2 / base two / binary, base 3 / base three / ternary, balanced ternary / balanced base 3, base ten / decimal, other different numeral bases and number systems / representations of numbers, a pattern I nicknamed "numberations", more!

This episode was directed/edited/soundtracked by me (Domotro) and was filmed by Carlo Trappenberg.
