How did Arabic numerals come from?
Arabic numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. 0 is a common number in the world. This figure was not created by Arabs, but it can't erase the credit of Arabs.
Arabic numerals originated from Indians and were gradually created by their ancestors in production practice.
In 3000 BC, the number of residents in the Indus Valley was advanced, and the decimal system was adopted. By the Vedic era (65438 BC+0400 BC-543 BC), Aryans had realized the role of numbers in production activities and daily life, and created some simple and incomplete numbers. In the 3rd century BC, a complete set of numbers appeared in India, but there were different writing styles in different places, among which Brahmanism was the typical one. Its uniqueness lies in that each number has a special symbol from 1 ~ 9, from which modern numbers are born. At that time, "0" had not appeared. It was not until the Gupta era (300-500 years) that there was a "0", which was called "Shunya", expressing a black dot "●" and later evolved into "0". This produces a complete set of figures. This is the great contribution of the ancient Indian people to world culture.
Indian figures first spread to Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia and other countries. In the 7th and 8th centuries, with the rise of the Arab Empire across Asia, Africa and Europe, Arabs eagerly absorbed the advanced cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, India and other countries and translated a large number of their scientific works. In 77 1 year, Indian astronomer and traveler Maoka visited Baghdad, the capital of the Arab Empire (750- 1258), and he will bring an Indian astronomy book, West Hande.
