Explore the origins and significance of Arabic algorithms, the number system we use today, in this insightful piece. While the numbers we write (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) are popularly attributed to Arabic culture, their roots trace back to Phoenician merchants who employed them for counting and commercial transactions. Delve into the logic of how these numbers were defined, the simplicity of their representation, and the fascinating concept of angles hidden within their primitive forms. Remember, it's never too late to learn something new!

The Numbers 1 2 4 013456… 5
The numbers we write are made up of algorithms, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) called arabic algorithms, to distinguish them from the roman algorithms (I; II; III; IV; etc.). 1 2 4 013456… 5
The arabs popularise these algorithms, but their origin goes back to the phenecian merchants that used them to count and do their commercial contability. 1 2 4 013456… 5
Have you ever asked the question why 1 is “one”, 2 is “two”, 3 is “three”…..? 1 2 4 013456… 5
What is the logic that exist in the arabic algorithms? 1 2 013456… 4 5
Easy, very easy…! There are angles! 1 2 4 013456… 5
Look at these algorithms written in their primitive form and check it up! … 1 2 4 013456… 5
