Basic Arithmetic Dates Homepage
Collection of Date BABs (BADs)

This homepage of BADs (Basic Arithmetic Dates) is going to be re-designed during winter break 2009-2010 (didn't happen) summer break 2011 (didn't happen) summer break 2013? (didn't happen)... maybe someday.

The first BAD (Basic Arithmetic Date) was created on 25 February 2006 and it was for the date 03/01/06. BADs were done informally from time-to-time during lecture, but I decided to create a BAD collection with each BAD being its own BAB.

During the first couple weeks of April, a bunch of BADs were created and I realized that the BADs were going to bloat the BAB collection. Consequently, I decided to do one BAB a month that contained the BADs for that respective month.

Original BADs (One BAD Per BAB)

GDT has minimized the creation of Basic Arithmetic Dates (BADs) primarily because they use 2-digit years. The Y2K problem taught us that 2-digit years should be avoided; therefore, BADs are bad. BADs are based upon 2-digit years at a time when we should be switching to using 5-digit years.
