<p>SCS: sp</p> <hr /> <div>'''Arabic numerals''' consist of the [[number system]] most commonly used in the world: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.<br /> <br /> The term &quot;Arabic numeral&quot; is a [[misnomer]] that originated in 1847. The more accurate term is &quot;Hindu-Arabic numeral&quot;, as the origin of the numerals is [[Hinduism]] in [[India]] between 400 B.C. and A.D. 400. The only connection with Arabs is that they communicated this system to [[Europe]] in the A.D. 900s, through Arabian [[mathematics|mathematicians]]. Most Arabs did not use these Indian numerals.{{fact}} It was [[Fibonacci]], the Italian mathematician, who was finally successfull in introducing the Arabic numbers to Europe, around 1200 A.D.<br /> <br /> Indians first discovered the concept of zero (0).<br /> [[category:mathematics]]</div>
