Mathematics of Indians and Arabs
As we all know, Arabic numerals have a nationwide popularity and usage rate. The earliest appearance of Arabic numerals can be traced back to 500 AD. An astronomer named Ayepihite created the ancestor of Arabic numerals. The number 1~9 was invented a long time later. As for the number 0, it is many years later than the number 1~9 1000, so the numbers 0~9 were invented by Indians. Because the numbers invented by Indians were very convenient, they were quickly used by Arabs. At that time, Arabs were good at walking in Europe and even the world. Europeans mistakenly thought that these numbers were created by Arabs, so they were named Arabic numbers.

1. Beautiful misunderstanding In fact, before Arabic numerals, there was another number that was widely used at that time, that is, Roman numerals, which are more complicated than Arabic numerals, so people naturally prefer to simplify numbers. 1202, The Calculation Book came out, which marked the status of Arabic numerals in Europe at that time. Because Arabic numerals were spread to Europe by Arabs, they were mistaken for Arabs.

Second, changing the creation of Arabic numerals in the world to the present world not only promoted the cultural and economic development of the world at that time, but also brought great influence to the modern development. Arabic numerals have penetrated into all aspects of our lives, bringing great convenience to our commodity sales, scientific research, data analysis at work and so on. The influence of Arabic numerals on the world can be seen everywhere.

In that era of slow development of science and technology and slow development of ideological, cultural and economic development, there are still people who are trying to break through themselves, strive to realize their self-worth and make their own contributions to the development of the world. People who live in the era of rapid development of science and technology have no reason to escape from themselves, but should strive to realize their own value. We can be mediocre, but we shouldn't live a mediocre life.
