All of us are familiar with the
binary arithmetic basis for classical computing, applied since the earliest electronic forms of switching.
In [26], four modifications are proposed to improve the efficiency of JPEG's
binary arithmetic QM coding.

binary arithmetic coding," Journal of Tsinghua University, vol.
Students are assumed to have some discrete mathematics background, including a knowledge of algorithms, computational complexity, and
binary arithmetic. They are also expected to have access to an algebraic software system or a sophisticated calculator to solve the 40-50 problems in each chapter.
In contrast to
binary arithmetic, decimal units are more complex, require more area, and are more expensive, and the simple binary coded decimal (BCD) data format has a storage overhead of approximately 20%.
Base two or
binary arithmetic is the math secret for this magic trick.
The two versions of Entropy coding used in the ATEMF product comprise CABAC (context-adaptive
binary arithmetic coding) and CAVLC (context-adaptive variable-length coding).
A conventional computer operates on classical bits--the familiar ones and zeroes of
binary arithmetic. The "qubits" of a quantum computer, by contrast, can exist in several states at once--superpositions, to use the official word--that resolve into particular outcomes only when some suitable measurement is made.
The one this reviewer found most stimulating was the link Richard Dawkins traces between the genetic code and computing, through their common use of
binary arithmetic, and what this means for communications theory.
Modern computers based on
binary arithmetic are the descendents of military machines developed to calculate ballistic tables for the Army during the Second World War.
All the segments are then added together using a variant of
binary arithmetic that gives a 16-bit result.
For example, both the context-based bi-level image compression methods [Langdon and Rissanen 1981] upon which the JBIG standard is based and the Dynamic Markov Compression method of Cormack and Horspool [1987] rely for their success upon the use of
binary arithmetic coding.
