A significant example of the interaction among Indian, Arab, and European societies by 1200 C.E. was the transfer of knowledge of Numerals and The Decimal System
Explanation:
- The decimal system used today is invented by Sumerians or Babylonians and developed by the Hindus.
- Aryabhatta is the father of decimal number system.
- The decimal numeral system is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.
- The way of denoting numbers in the decimal system is often referred to as decimal notation.
- A writing method for expressing numbers is called a "numeral system". In the most common numeral system, we write numbers with combinations of 10 symbols {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}. These symbols are called digits, and numbers that are expressed using 10 digits are called "decimal" or "base-10" numbers.
- We use decimals every day, while dealing with money, weight, length etc. Decimal numbers are used in situations where more precision is required, than the whole numbers can provide.
