Originally posted by Fat LadyI was lying down going to sleep and I realized I shouldn't use so many digits, was thinking about binary, 0 and 1, octal, 0-8 and so forth so it must be only 0,1,2,3 for PI. So what would 1223.22 be in PI?
Surely you can only use the digits 0, 1, 2 and 3 in base pi?

A arbitrarily chosen base, integer, rational, end even real bae, never done that, very interesting.
The formula goes: sum{a(i)*b^i}
where i is an integer from low to high,
and b is a real base > 1, I suppose?
It doesn't make sense if b < 0, and definitely not when b=1, correct?
Can we use the formula to construct any real number?
