What (who) is radix - definition

IN A POSITIONAL NUMERAL SYSTEM, THE NUMBER OF UNIQUE DIGITS, INCLUDING THE DIGIT 0, USED TO REPRESENT NUMBERS

Number base; Bases and number systems; DECIMAL TO BINARY / HEXADECIMAL TO BINARY; Numeral base; Number bases; Base (radix); Base of computation

radix

n.

[L.] Root, radical, etymon, primitive word.

radix

<mathematics> The ratio, R, between the weights of adjacent digits in positional representation of numbers. The right-most digit has weight one, the digit to its left has weight R, the next R^2, R^3, etc. The radix also determines the set of digits which is zero to R-1. E.g. decimal (radix ten) uses 0-9 and each digit is worth ten times as much as you move left along the number. (2006-11-10)

Radix

·noun The root of a plant.

II. Radix ·noun A finite expression, from which a series is derived.

III. Radix ·noun A primitive word, from which spring other words; a radical; a root; an Etymon.

IV. Radix ·noun A number or quantity which is arbitrarily made the fundamental number of any system; a base. Thus, 10 is the radix, or base, of the common system of logarithms, and also of the decimal system of numeration.

Wikipedia

Radix

In a positional numeral system, the radix or base is the number of unique digits, including the digit zero, used to represent numbers. For example, for the decimal system (the most common system in use today) the radix is ten, because it uses the ten digits from 0 through 9.

In any standard positional numeral system, a number is conventionally written as (x)_y with x as the string of digits and y as its base, although for base ten the subscript is usually assumed (and omitted, together with the pair of parentheses), as it is the most common way to express value. For example, (100)₁₀ is equivalent to 100 (the decimal system is implied in the latter) and represents the number one hundred, while (100)₂ (in the binary system with base 2) represents the number four.

Examples of use of radix

1. Or, to put it another way, it is very academic, and it has triggered a flurry of contemplation among geographers, environmental scientists, engineers, hydrologists, seismologists and volcanologists linked by Radix (http://www.radixonline.org/) a British–based website.
