The invention of numeration system is regarded as one of the great accomplishments of man, as it greatly assist man in expressing his communication needs and also serve as an important tool in language pedagogy, historical linguistics, comparative study of African languages and computational linguistics. However, numeral system is reported to be an endangered area being identified in the use and study of language, and in no distant time, the traditional number system of the African indigenous counting systems may lose its contact with the new generation.

The numeral system developed in South Asian Subcontinent in third century B. C. E. as the ancestor of the Hindu Arabic, Lichhavi, Kharosthi and other different numeral systems is popular by Brahmi numeral system. Ashoka prepared the pillar to preserve the Brahmi inscription with consisting numerals. The Brahmi numerical symbols are found at Lumbini of Nepal, for example a symbol used there tells the division by eight (Athabhagiya) and conversely multiplication of eight. Ashoka pillar with different inscriptions were found at Bihar, Uttarpradesh, Delhi, Madhyapradesh of India and different part

Abstract:
WE INHERITED A MARVELOUS SYSTEM of numeration from India by way of the Arab world. The Indo-Arabic (also called Hindu-Arabic, or, simply, Arabic) system of number notation is considered one of the most important inventions in the history of humankind. The amazingly efficient system encompasses the following features: (1) distinct symbols for the numbers from 1 to 9, (2) a symbol for 0, (3) place value for successive powers of base ten, and (4) the ability to write any numeral with just ten symbols.

Abstract:
Humans have devised machines to replace computation by individuals since ancient times: The abacus predated the written Hindu–Arabic numeral system by centuries. We owe a quantum leap in the development of machines to help problem solve to the British mathematician Charles Babbage who built what he called the Difference Engine in the mid-19th century. But the Turing formula created in 1936 is the foundation for the modern computer; it produced printed symbols on paper tape that listed a series of logical instructions. Three decades later, Olivetti manufactured the first mass-marketed desktop c

Abstract:
The ability to process the numerical magnitude of sets of items has been characterized in many animal species. Neuroimaging data have associated this ability to represent nonsymbolic numerical magnitudes (e.g., arrays of dots) with activity in the bilateral parietal lobes. Yet the quantitative abilities of humans are not limited to processing the numerical magnitude of nonsymbolic sets. Humans have used this quantitative sense as the foundation for symbolic systems for the representation of numerical magnitude. Although numerical symbol use is widespread in human cultures, the brain regions in

Abstract:
The ancient Egyptian numerals used as far back as 3400 B.C. had groupings by ten but no place values. The use of these symbols will help students understand our base-ten system and the efficiency of our place-value notation. The basic rules for writing ancient Egyptian numerals (Egyptians now use Hindu-Arabic numerals, as we do) are relatively simple.

Abstract:
The numerical notation associated with texts and other representational media used in ancient societies is an important means by which past cognitive processes may be reconstructed. No satisfactory typology exists, however, to help understand the relationship between numerical symbols and cognitive processes. As a result, theories concerning the development of numeration remain mired in a unilinear and ethnocentric framework in which our own (Hindu-Arabic or Western) numerals are seen as the ultimate stage of evolution. It is suggested herein that there are two separate dimensions that need to

Abstract:
Numbers have been recorded in a variety of ways throughout time. For example, the Babylonians used marks pressed in clay; the Egyptians used papyrus and ink brushes to create tally marks; and the Maya introduced a symbol for zero (Billstein, Libeskind, and Lott 2001). All these ancient peoples used numerals, or written symbols, to express what they meant mathematically. They created their own numeration system, which is a collection of uniform symbols and properties to express numbers systematically. The Hindu- Arabic system is one such numeration method; however, understanding others can reve

Occasionally derided by historians for being retrograde in comparison to the Hindu-Arabic numerals sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe adopted, Muscovy’s alphanumerals were versatile and suitably contoured to perform a variety of computational tasks. Muscovite alphanumerals were an integral part of early Moderen Russia’s administrative culture, and played a prominent role in fostering the experiential knowledge underlying the educational achievements of the Imperial Period.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the legacy of Indian mathematics. With very few archaeological clues, the origins of the Indian numbers must rely on a small wealth of writing that survives almost exclusively in the form of stone inscriptions. Some of those stone epigraphs used decimal place-value numerals, providing some evidence that ancient India was familiar with a kind of place-value numerical system. Some letter combinations of the Sanskrit words for numbers probably contributed suggestive shapes early in the morphographic history of our current script. The chapter first considers the Brahmi number system before turning to modern Hindu-Arabic numerals. It also examines how the Western system of numerals with zero came to be by focusing on finger counting, the dust boards, and the abacus.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the debate among experts over the origins of the Hindu-Arabic numerals. One such expert was the French mathematician and historian Michel Chasles, who argued that by the fifth century, France already had a decimal place-value system for computations documented in Boethius's Arithmetic, which seemed to use a multiplication table with Arabic numbers. For much of the nineteenth century, the Indian origin of positional decimal notation had been challenged. The chapter also considers the claim made by George Rusby Kaye in 1907 that the numerals and the decimal system could not have been Indian in origin and that the history of Hindu-Arabic number representation was complicated by the existence of so many forgeries of the time. Whatever the truth, it is quite likely that sometime in the fifth century, Indian numbers had come to Alexandria via a trade route through Syria before moving westward.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how our current number system reached Europe. There is a dispute over whether or not the person most responsible for introducing Hindu-Arabic numerals to Europe was Leonardo Pisano Bigollo, also known as Leonardo Fibonacci. One of the great mathematicians of his time, Fibonacci gained fame for the problem of how rabbits multiply. As a young man, Fibonacci traveled with his father around the Mediterranean, meeting priests, scholars, and merchants in Egypt, Syria, Greece, and Provence. He learned the number systems used in trade. In 1202, he wrote Liber abbaci (Book of the Calculations), a book about how to calculate without an abacus. The chapter also considers the Ta'rikh al-hukama (Chronology of the Scholars), a mid-thirteenth-century book written by Ibn al-Qifti that tells the story of how the Indian numbers came to the Arabs.
