arabic numbers
DESCRIPTION
How numerals 0 - 9 got their shape - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Do you know why numbers look like they do? Someone, at some point in time, had to create their shapes and meaning. Watch this short presentation and then you will know how our Arabic numbers were originally created a very long time ago and what logic the people that created them used to determine their shapes. It is really very simple and quite creative. You have to admire the intelligence of a person or people that created something so simple and perfect that it has lasted thousands and thousands of years and will probably never change. When the presentation gets to the number "seven" you will notice that the 7 has a line through the middle of it. That was the way the Arabic 7 was originally written, and in Europe and certain other areas they still write the 7 that way. Also, in the military, they commonly write it that way. The nine has a kind of curly tail on it that has been reduced, for the most part nowadays, to a simple curve, but the logic involved still appliesTRANSCRIPT

NumbersNumbers
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.). 12455
12455
The arabs popularized these algorithms, but their origin goes back to the Phoenecian merchants who used them to count and do their commercial accounting.

Have you ever asked the question why “one” is 1, “two” is 2, “three” is 3...?
12455
What is the logic that existed in the arabic algorithms?
12455
Easy, very easy…!
There are angles!
12455
Look at these algorithms written in their primitive form and check it out! …
12455
1 angle 2 angles
3 angles 4 angles
12455
5 angles 6 angles
7 angles8 angles
124559 angles

And the most interesting and intelligent of all…..
12455
Zero angle !
