In our day to day life we need to quantify several things that we use or come across like members in the family, students in the class/school. For counting objects, expressing the different quantities, measuring length, weight, volume, expressing time etc numbers are essential. Numbers have been so intimately associated with our life that we cannot think of anything without them.  Different systems of numbers were developed in different ancient civilizations

  • Roman Numbers: I, II, III etc
  • India’s Contribution: The present decimal system i.e. the numbers based on ten digits i.e.,0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 was designed basically by Indians and it was carried by Arabic people to their country and subsequently to western world. Thus, this system of numeration is named as Hindu-Arabic Numerals.
  • Mayan System: See the figure below:
