Arabic Numerals or Indian Numerals ? || Dr Roy Casagranda

"Arabic numerals" are not Arabic at all.

Dr Roy Casagranda explains how India invented the numbers the whole world uses today — and how the Persian scholar Al-Khwarizmi developed them, wrote the first book of algebra and the world's first algorithm. Europeans received the numerals through his works and, unable to tell Persians and Arabs apart, simply called them "Arab numerals".

Inside this Short:
- The Indian (Hindu) origin of our digits and the Bakhshali manuscript
- Al-Khwarizmi: algebra, algorithms, and the House of Wisdom
- How the numerals reached Europe (and Fibonacci's Liber Abaci)
