[math-fun] "long tail" number notations?

22 Apr 2018

      Are there any number notations that aren't *based*,
in the sense that one digit doesn't represent O(1/|b|)
of the next higher-order digit, where b is the "base" ?

I'm particularly looking for notations which *don't*
converge quickly.

This may sound silly, but why bother with a notation
that converges more quickly than series you're trying
to represent?
