We Meet Those Who Count To Four Anything More Is Lots ; We Discover The First Use Of Fingers And Toes For Counting; We Follow The Sequence Of Trial And Error That Chose A Number Of Bases For Counting Until Base 10, The Metric System, Was Put In Place. In The Far East They Perfected Many Centuries Ago A Method Of Counting With The Abacus That Remains Astonishing In Its Speed And Sophistication. Yet It Still Begs The Intriguing Question: How Did They Manage For All Those Hundreds Of Years Without The Zero? Amazing, Captivating And Enriching, The Universal History Of Numbers Is A Must Read Not Only For Specialists And Academics, But Also For The Average Reader Who Is Interested In The Development Of Civilization.

"Georges Ifrah is the man. This book, quite simply, rules. . . . It is outstanding . . . a mind-boggling and enriching experience." –The Guardian (London) "Monumental. . . . a fascinating journey taking us through many different cultures."–The Times (London)"Ifrah’s book amazes and fascinates by the scope of its scholarship. It is nothing less than the history of the human race told through figures." –International Herald Tribune Now in paperback, here is Georges Ifrah’s landmark international bestseller–the first complete, universal study of the invention and evolution of numbers the world over. A riveting history of counting and calculating, from the time of the cave dwellers to the twentieth century, this fascinating volume brings numbers to thrilling life, explaining their development in human terms, the intriguing situations that made them necessary, and the brilliant achievements in human thought that they made possible. It takes us through the numbers story from Europe to China, via ancient Greece and Rome, Mesopotamia, Latin America, India, and the Arabic countries. Exploring the many ways civilizations developed and changed their mathematical systems, Ifrah imparts a unique insight into the nature of human thought–and into how our understanding of numbers and the ways they shape our lives have changed and grown over thousands of years.

This book displays large images of numerals used in all of the world's major numbering systems from antiquity to the present. Numbers 1 to 20 are displayed in almost all of these numbering systems, and the tens, hundreds, thousands and beyond are displayed where place value systems with zero are not used. These images are greatly enlarged so that those newly encountering them can appreciate and remember them more easily. Numbers are very important in almost every branch of learning. They are the basic essentials of trade and commerce as well as architecture, building and construction. Then there are the fields of mathematics and astronomy as well as almost every other branch of learning. The book begins with the numbering systems of the ancient Inca and Maya and then progresses to the numerals etched on oracle bones in China 3,400 years ago. The Chinese use of zero and negative numbers in rod numerals is also covered. Following this are the Babylonian cuneiform numbers and Egyptian hieroglyphic and hieratic numbers. Then the first European numbering system from Minoan Crete is followed by Phoenician, Attic and Etruscan numerals. Roman numerals and Ionian Greek alphabetic numerals are presented with an explanation of how they had their origin in the Phoenician alphabet. Then we move on to the partly Greek-derived numerals used by the Ethiopians who speak the Semitic Amharic language. The alphabetic Hebrew numerals of Greek inspiration are followed by the Arabic abjad numerals which assign numbers to the letters of the Arabic alphabet. Armenian and Georgian numbers are also displayed and then the Kharosthi numerals of Afghanistan and India. Emphasis is then placed on the Brahmi numerals of 4th century BC India which gave rise to all of the numbering systems of modern India and Southeast Asia as well as Tibet and Mongolia and even Europe. The Indian development of the concept of zero and a place value system is also covered in detail. Dozens of images are shown of numbers in the Devanagari, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Odiya, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil and Malayalam scripts. Then the stylistic but obsolete Sinhala numerals of Sri Lanka are followed by the Javanese, Burmese, Khmer, Thai and Lao numerals. Finally the Eastern Arabic numerals used in modern Arabic speaking countries appear with Persian variants. Next are the medieval European variants of Western Arabic numbers, including those from the Codex Vigilanus of the year 976 and numerals from 11th century France. The numerals of Bernelinus, a pupil of Pope Sylvester II, are followed by the 12th century numerals of Gerlandus of Besancon and the 13th century numerals of the English scholar Roger Bacon.

They Are Also The Story Of How The Human Race Has Learnt To Think Logically. In Volume 2, Georges Ifrah Continues The Story Of The Invention Of The Modern Number-System By Telling Us How Indian Civilization Became The Cradle Of Modern Numerals With The Invention Of The Place Value System And Of Zero. Twenty-One Geographically Different Indian Numerical Notations Of The Nine Numerals And The Zero Are Explained Individually With Illustrations. A Detailed Dictionary Of Indian Numerical Symbols, Recorded Alphabetically, Gives The Reader A Better Idea Of The Subtle And Complicated World Of Numbers Which Derived From The Genius Of Indian Mathematicians Working In The Late Middle Ages. It Was Arab Scholars Who Brought The System To The West. If Western Mathematical Progress Today Looks Dazzling, It Is Because It Stands On A Solid Non-Western Foundation. Amazing, Captivating And Enriching, The Universal History Of Numbers Is A Must Read Not Only For Specialists And Academics, But Also For The Average Reader Who Is Interested In The Development Of Civilization.

What are numbers? What are numerals? Are they the same? How precise are they? In this book, we will be focusing very closely at numbers and their properties and not numerals. We will basically consider two different kinds of numbers: precise numbers and imprecise numbers. The difference between these two kinds of numbers lies in their degree of precision. In case of a precise number, there is no room for error, whereas in case of an imprecise number, there can be some room for error as long as its value is reasonably close to the stated value. In Part I of this book, we will focus on precise numbers and number systems. Whereas Part II of this book is devoted for working with imprecise numbers. The first approach involves simplifying them by a mean and standard deviation. The second approach that we will explore involves determining the imprecise number's acceptable maximum and minimum end point values. Once we have found these values, we will discuss techniques for calculating the resultants after applying different functions and operations. Error Analysis is covered in Part III, where we discuss a new way to use our imprecise numbers. This approach lends itself to an easy implementation of a calculator or computer to calculate the error analysis.
