Dude Maya numbers with base 10 are better than Arabic numbers in many ways. Its a written abacus so you can change numbers in-place although you have to write 0 as either an empty space or 10 (=. In Maya-10 32 x 57 is written as. . x _. _
Try doing 66 x 66 which in maya is written. _. _ x. _. _ and watch as the answer can be manipulated in place adding. ._ (36) four times. The Maya number system saves space in short-term memory as well when mastered because you can manipulate the numbers in your head instead of having to remember to carry. You should watch Asians with their imaginary abacus do multiplication extremely quickly, this could be possible with Maya. Division is amazing in Maya-10 numbers because you can simply change your answer despite over and under-dividing. Maya-12, Maya-16 are also pretty awesome, but we are too based on base 10 for it to catch on.

Vedic india gave lot to world but the western world took idea of unity in diversity back, whole numbers, weekday names, much much more.
But they created EU after fighting 2 world wars realizing that 2 different languages can strive together. BUT BRITISH JUST DIDNT PUT THEIR MINDSET OF GREED AND DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY THEY ARE OUT OF EU IN 2020 RESULTS WIL BE BAD

To be clear on one point, the Arabs never invented the system, they got it from the Indians. So calling the system 'the Hindu-Arabic system' is like saying that the German Nazis that took over France created the French paintings.

Mayans and Aztecs, did not know the value of zero neither they have a proper symbol for zero. ZERO and the current Number System was invented by Indians. Believe proof and facts rather than hypothesis.

those Europeans think Asians owe them a favor for 'civilizing' us. Lol. instead of bombing the middle east, they should thank them for spreading the knowledge of Asia into the West.

Indian just re-write the Arabian numeric symbols not the systems which means Indian just copied it.
Thanks to Arabian's inventors

I always wondered what would happen if we had come up with an extra number. Would some calculations change/loose meaning?
