Who invented the modern number system

The Indians invented the modern number system. It is often called Arabic numerals because it came to Europe through the Arabs. But Arabs themselves call it as "HindSaa" meaning - "given by Hindus or Indians". The Persians copied the Indian number system and then passed it on to the Arabs. Then an Italian mathematician named Fibonacci traveled to Algeria to study. When he came back home, he brought the Indian numerals with him. He wrote about the system in his book "Liber Abaci.“. This system has been really used in Europe . Today it is the number system used by the whole world.

Use of Decimal System

• Measurement.• Currency.• Weight.• Volume.• Nutrients in food.

• Conclusion: These help us in daily life

Decimal System in measurement

• In measuring objects we use the scale based on decimal system. The most common scale is metric scale.

• Metric scale consists of a standard unit meter. All other practical scales are relative to it like centimeter, millimeter and kilometer.

Decimal System in currency • Currency is separated in

two domains in every country. For example: rupee & paisa in India, dollar & cents in U.S.A, euro & cents in Europe & pounds & penny in England. 1 rupee is 100 paisa & so it is in every country. The product I am purchasing in the video is Rs 40and 50 paise which is written as Rs 40.5

Decimal system in weights

• While measuring weights we use the units Kilograms and grams which is Kg and g in short. For example my weight is 30 Kg and 300 grams which is written as 30.3 Kg in decimal system.

Decimal system in volume

• Volumes are measured in litres and millilitres. 1 litre is equal to 1000 millilitres. If we make a box of 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm then its volume is 1 litre. 1 millilitre is a cube of 1cm x 1cm x 1cm.
