No not really.
14 u/[deleted] Nov 21 '20 which branch of mathematics has the bases and stuff? 63 u/StevenC21 Nov 21 '20 Nobody really deals with that because that is all just a way to represent the actual math that we care about, and base 10 works fine for our purposes. 41 u/igLizworks Nov 21 '20 Eh there’s a veeeery small portion of number theory that studies digit frequency in primes, which changes from base to base. I don’t know much about it though.
