    Today's modern number system originated from Hindu-Arabic numerals introduced to Europe in the 12th century by Italian mathematician Leonardo Pisano, who learned of them while educated in North Africa. The numerals include the symbols 1-9 and 0. The Hindu numeral system is a place-value system, uniquely including a symbol for zero, and was disseminated through the Arab world.

    Today's numbers, also called Hindu-Arabic numbers, are a

    combination of just 10 symbols or


    digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, 7, 8, 9, and 0. These digits were
    introduced in Europe within the XII century by Leonardo
    Pisano (akaFibonacci), an Italian mathematician. L. Pisano
    was educated in North Africa, where he learned and later
    carried to Italy the now popular Hindu-Arabic numerals.
    Hindu numeral system is a pure place-value system, that is why you
    need a zero. Only the Hindus, within the context of Indo-European
    civilisations, have consistently used a zero. The Arabs, however, played
    an essential part in the dissemination of this numeral system.

    The Earliest Evidence of The Use of Numbers


    All numeration systems started as simple tally marks, using single strokes to
    represent each additional unit...
    Our prehistoric ancestors would have had a general sensibility about amounts
    and quantities, and would have instinctively known the difference between
    one, two or many antelopes. But the intellectual leap from the concrete idea
    of two things to the invention of a symbol for the abstract idea of "two" took
    many ages to come about.
    Mathematics along with a formal system of numbers initially developed when
    civilizations settled and developed agriculture - for the measurement of plots
    of land, the taxation of individuals, and so on - and this first occurred in the
    Sumerian and Babylonian civilizations of Mesopotamia (roughly, modern Iraq)
    and in ancient Egypt.

    The Ishango stick (recto/verso). Origin: Central Africa. Length: 10 cm

    The 10 cm long bone stick shown in the image above is 35'000-20'000 years old and
    is probably the first pocket calculator ever known. The scores on the stick represent

    a sequence of prime numbers and some duplication series (3-6, 4-8, 5-10, etc.). It
    seems that the twelve-system of numeration was used to make these operation
    tables, instead of our decimal one. The prehistoric owner of this stick used it as a
    primitive accounting tool.

    Numerals, a Time Travel from India to Europe


    The discovery of zero and the place-value system were inventions unique to the
    Indian civilization. As the Brahmi notation of the first 9 whole numbers...

    The numeral set used in the Middle East today is a cousin of the modern
    numeral set, with a common ancestor in the ancient Hindu numerals. In
    fact, the Eastern Arabic numerals (also called ArabicIndic
    numerals) are specific numerals currently used to represent the
