A mnemonic to help you remember which order to carry out operations: Brackets, Indices, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.Doing operations in a different order makes the answer wrong. eg 2+1x3=5 but (2+1)x3=9

1. The bottom side of a polygon.
2. The plave value scale of a number system. We normally count in base 10 because we have 0-9, and then a 1 in the next column. This is convenient because we have 10 fingers but other number systems exist:
- Binary
- Hexadecimal
- Sexagesimal
A three digit angle measured clockwise from north, eg 030°
Base 2This number system is used in computers because it makes them easy to make. Because you only need 1 and 0, 1 can be electricity, and 0 no electricity. Instead of the columns (from right to left) being 1, 10, (10x10=) 100, (10x10x10=) 1,000 etc, they are 1, 2, 4, 8, etc
So the number 5 in binary would be 1x4, 0x 2, 1x1 = 101.
Now you are ready for my binary joke:
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't
