1 janv. 300 av. J.-C. - Invention of binary numbering system
Description:
- Pingala's binary numbering system was the first instance of representing numbers using zeros and ones; the invention of binary was fundamental to developing modern computers, as computers function using binary
- The invention of binary could be used to simplify complex decimal numbers into numbers composed of two states (i.e. 0 and 1); this is important as computers function based on two states (on and off)
- Paved the way for future computer scientists and mathematicians to create binary logic, as 0 and 1 could correlate to false and true respectively
