I think Modular arithmetic may be closer for your addition, but I'm not really sure. In any case base (mathematics) is not the right place. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your absence
Wikipedia normally has a policy of not biting the newbies. If you are staying away because you were bitten, please reconsider: [1] and [2].
If you want any explanation on my part, please e-mail me. You will be able to do that from my talk page. If you didn't yet yourself certify your e-mail account via Wikipedia, that is something I would advise you to do - you would look more serious if you led people to an e-mail account rather than to a blog.
Do not misunderstand me: if you have an inkling that something is wrong on a page, the acceopted way of editing on Wikipedia is that you should be able to find sources first, that go along in your direction: books (with ISBN numbers) (preferable) and reputable internet links (blogs should be avoided). On talk pages, however, you can freely state your own mind and try to explain why you object to something (a third party may lead you to a source). Have a look at WP:NOR. All the best, and should you indeed decide to come back, happy editing!--Paul Pieniezny 13:25, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
