Pls correct my hand-waving of Primes and history of math - wish FermatPrime were still here! People thought there was some "magic" to numbers and things like Primes made 'em think there was universal order.įirst, we use base10 because we have 10 fingers (if we took or shoes off, it might be base20!)
