• curprev 07:0607:06, 21 March 2024 82.6.43.48 talk 35,332 bytes −264 →Non-normal numbers: The original text claimed that a rational number can be simply normal and gave the example 0.1234567890... recurring. This number contains all the digits 0 to 9 equally often. But the definition of a simply normal number is stronger than that. It requires that any sequence of digits occurs equally as often as any other sequence of digits of the same length. But (for example) the sequence 12 appears infinitely many times whereas the sequence 11 appears never. undo Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

This Wikipedia-article is about a technical topic in math, not about speculations and nonsense. I suspect the author of the linked page added the link himself to draw attention to himself and sell more of his books. undo Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
