NUMERAL SYSTEMS OF GREAT ANCIENT HUMAN CIVILIZATIONS
Journal Title: Journal of Science And Arts - Year 2010, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
We present here a systematic study of numeral systems of world’s renowned ancient human civilizations. We discuss their important properties regarding number of different symbols, base, positional or place-value character, presence of zero, fractions, representiblity limits and influence on each other. Also we give examples by representing common numbers in these systems. Most of these systems are out of use today, but they have gradually led us to where we are today, the acceptance of most effective Indian decimal place-value system with zero. So, their importance should receive due credit from point of view of preserving our historical path of development.
