The use and usefulness of numeration systems
The author shows how different number systems can be used in solving some practical and some pure theoretical mathematical problems. The problems he considers come from Information Theory (Data compression and the design of comma free codes), Group Theory, Game Theory (Description of strategies for games and descriptions of classes of games) and Combinatorics (ranking of permutations and combinations).
