Greek and Roman methods

Greeks and Romans, like Babylon and Egypt, did not know the use of zero. One of the major reasons is that the Greeks and Romans are influenced by them in many ways. They used a different symbol like Babylon and Egypt, not writing a number like 100, 200, etc. like this, today, like one or two, on the back of two or two.However, the Greeks did not find any different symbols for numbers, but they used to represent the numbers with the letters of the Greek alphabet. And the number written in the Roman system is still taught in elementary schools. So it's worth to say it again.

Greek number table

From the table above, we can see that λ (pronounced lambda) was meant to be 30 (because the position of λ is in row 3 and 10 in column) and β (pronunciation beta) was indicated by 2. So if we want to write 32 in Greek method we need to write λ β. But the problem is that from the table we see that Greeks used 36 different letters to write numbers from 1 to 9999.In the same way, 46 were written for single time, 55 were written for decade and written for one crore, 64 used to use different fonts, where we can write all the numbers in the world using 0-9 with the help of these ten symbols. It is difficult to remember all these different characters on one side, on the other hand, adding them, subtracting, multiplication, sharing is difficult.

The Roman way was like the Egyptians. For example, if someone wants to write in 2017, he will have to write two thousand, one ten (x) and seven (VII) as well. So in the Roman system of 2017 MMXVII

Maya civilization calculation method

So long as we discussed the number of civilization systems, each of them was in some way related or influenced by everyone. However, the exception of this list is the Mayan civilization. Only about 500 years ago, people of Asia, Europe and Africa learned about this Latin American civilization. But the development of the Maya civilization almost fifty years ago today.Many mysterious stories are common in the history of Maya, but most recently, the Mayan civilization is the most familiar for the calendar. Interestingly, there was no other year after their calendar in 2012. Many have given this statement that Mayanans believed that the world would be destroyed after 2012, although many researchers have doubted this opinion. Whatever the number, the number of Maya civilizations developed in the process was totally different.Their numerical method was based on 5, and surprisingly, the Maya used different symbols for zero. They used to use different symbols for zero, one and five, for these three numbers. All the remaining numbers use these three symbols. Thinking from the way, the modern approach was very close to the Mayanas. However, the method of Maya did not have special advantages for addition and subtraction.

Modern method

The method that we present in the numbers is the combined contribution of ancient Indians and Arabs. Indian people invented the present system of writing any number using the total number of ten symbols from auspicious to about 600 AD. Although many believe that the journey of this system began in the second century AD, there is no written evidence before 600 AD.

Whatever it was, the Arabs came to India from India for business and preaching purposes. In the Indian system, the calculation of addition and subtraction was much simpler and effective than the conventional system in Arabia. This is a great process, so the Arab thinks it is very easy. The Arabs spread the process of learning from India all over the world.In Arabic, zero is called sipar. Jepiro, speaking to the Arab merchants, told Italian or Latin to Zero or Zipar. And the Latin Jepiro came from the English Zero word. Although Italian merchants knew that accounting can be done very easily in the Indo-Arab system, they did not want to use this method other than trade without foreign trade. However, the Indo-Arab system gained popularity in Europe soon.And this is a very important contribution to popularization that the man named him Leonardo Fibonacci (1170-1250). It is named after the Fibonacci, but it has been named the famous Fibonacchi series, although the use of the Fibonacci series in Sanskrit rhyme was used many centuries ago.Unless Fibonacci was attracted to this section, The earliest rhythm style uses the fibonacci sequence, 3rd century BC Indian pundit, Pingala. And this is the earliest example of using the Fibonacchi series, known earlier.

Feel free to say that the most important contribution to this unprecedented development of human civilization is that the name of the scripture is named after it Science Mathematics is called science language. And so long we tried to get a brief history of the symbol "number" of that language.

What we should remember is that it is not possible for any civilization to reach the highest peak of knowledge from complete knowledge. Every civilization is in some way indebted to the former civilizations. But the names of many of them have been lost in history; Lost their contribution. Perhaps one of their discoveries has been rediscovered by some other world, but the name of the original thinker is forgotten by the people of the world.In this context, a question should come, for the mathematical and scientific discovery, it is very important to be immortal in history? It is perhaps necessary for history but it is a curiosity to curb the rising civilization. Because the names of many genius scientist and mathematician of ancient civilization have been erased from history, but their far-reaching effects still continue to feel human civilization. So how much is the importance of history? Of course, it is a matter of thinking and entrusting the duty to the reader.
