Binary, hexadecimal, and octal refer to different number systems. The one that we typically use is called decimal. These number systems refer to the number of symbols used to represent numbers. In the decimal system, we use ten different symbols: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. With these ten symbols, we can represent any quantity.
We have two majors: a Bachelor of Science in geology and a Bachelor of Arts in geoscience. The B.S. in geology is a rigorous and well-rounded geology major that teaches all of the general skills needed to be successful for employment or graduate school in the field of geology.
Paleontology combines biology and geology, and paleontologists need a broad scientific training. In high school, you'll need to take biology, chemistry, physics and math. When you move onto college, there are two possible pathways. Invertebrate paleontologists usually take a B.S. in geology with a minor in zoology. Vertebrate paleontologists commonly take the opposite route, a B.S. in zoology with a minor in geology, although some enter the field through geology.
