RE: Today's lesson: our days have 24 hours thanks to Sumerian mathematics
Very interesting, there are many numerical systems that we have used throughout history, imagine using the Babylonian or even Roman numerals in modern times, I guess we would get used to it, but I guess it would give us a lot of difficulty when it comes to making some calculations.
I think the same, children would have a harder time in school learning mathematics if we used the old systems.
Luckily we don't! And besides, eventually we will probably make this calculations instantly using synthetic ways.
