Mathematics
A base is the amount of characters (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,A,B,C etc.) there are in a counting system.
We generally use base 10. It uses the characters 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 0.
Examples of other bases:
Base 2-Binary
Base 1-Unary
Base 3-Trinary
Base 8-Octal
Base 10-Decimal
Base 13-Tridecimal
Base 16-Hexadecimal
These all use characters.
They start with 0, then 1, then 2 ... 9, then A (10), B(11), C(12).
And so on
Chemistry
A base is a chemical compound containing the anion OH- and accepting hydrogen ions.
The definition for base is: A number being raised to a power of another number.
it is the whole number in a power
square root
A base number is the value to the power of the exponent. For example, in 2^4, 2 is the base number and 4 is the exponent.
In the SI measurement system, a meter is a "base unit". However, the definition relies on the prior definition of the second.
A simple definition is: a base accept a proton.
