Dozenal Matters

Dozenal means "base twelve," in the same way that binary means "base two" and octal means "base eight." However, dozenal is a bit different from all of these. Binary, octal, hexadecimal, and so forth are primarily intended for, and used by, computers; they are powers of two, and so are uniquely suitable for computers. Dozenal, on the other hand, is intended for use by people, the same way that decimal is.

Below, you'll find a few links that expose the various aspects of dozenal mathematics---counting, arithmetic, measurement, and so forth.
