The document discusses the origins and logic of the Arabic number system. It explains that the numbers 1-9 represent different angles, with 1 being one angle and 9 being nine angles. Zero represents no angles. The Arabic number system traces its origins to Phoenician merchants but was popularized by Arabs. Sharing this insight with others can help teach the logic behind our numeric representations.

2. 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.).

3. The arabs popularise these
algorithms, but their origin goes
back to the phenecian merchants
that used them to count and do
their commercial contability.

4. Have you ever asked the
question why 1 is “one”, 2 is
“two”, 3 is “three”…..?
