The document discusses the origins of Arabic numerals, also known as Hindu-Arabic numerals. It explains that (1) the numbers we use today originated from algorithms developed by Phoenician merchants and popularized by Arabs to facilitate counting and commerce. It then (2) reveals that the numeric values assigned to the numbers 1 through 9 are based on the number of angles in their primitive written forms. Finally, it (3) notes that zero is represented by the absence of an angle, making it the most intelligent of all the numeric representations.
Arabic Numbers
- 1. Numbers 1 0123456789 45 2
- 2. The numbers we write are made up of algorithms, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) called Arabic algorithms, to distinguish them from Roman algorithms (I, II, III, IV, etc.). 1 45 2
- 3. The arabs popularized these algorithms, but their origin goes back to the Phoenecian merchants who used them to count and do their commercial accounting. 1 45 2
- 4. Have you ever asked the question why one is 1, two is 2, three is 3...? 1 45 2
- 5. What is the logic that existed in the arabic algorithms? 1 45 2
- 6. Easy, very easy! There are angles! 1 45 2
- 7. Look at these algorithms written in their primitive form and check it out! 1 45 2
- 8. 1 angle 2 angles 1 3 angles 4 angles 45 2
- 9. 1 2 5 angles 6 angles 7 angles 8 angles 45
