The expression of numerical quantities is something we tend
to take for granted. This is both a good and a bad thing in the study of
electronics. It is good, in that we're accustomed to the use and
manipulation of numbers for the many calculations used in analyzing
electronic circuits. On the other hand, the particular system of notation
we've been taught from grade school onward is not the system used
internally in modern electronic computing devices, and learning any
different system of notation requires some re-examination of deeply
ingrained assumptions.
