RE: The Curious Case For Base 12 (Why Dozens Are Easier For Everyday Maths Than Tens)

in #mathematics7 years ago

Unfortunately that is indeed the case. We not only need to change all our tools and devices, everybody needs to change the way they think about numbers. I love the idea of base 12 too, but I'm sure I'd struggle big time if switched. Most people would simply not want the hassle. It's a pity we didn't move into dozenal earlier before decimal got so deeply entrenched into our minds and lives.
