A legislator, trying to trim the college budget, has suggested dropping the
study of binary numbers. “Why do we need other numbers?” he asks. “Plain
numbers were good enough when I went to school.”
Write a letter to this legislator, explaining why, in this computer age,
“plain” numbers are not enough. Include specific examples of the use of binary
numbers. Be polite but forceful, and limit your letter to one page.(Note: Answer
must be different for every students).
