Jonathan Appleseed is 100% correct in his assertion on the modern numerical system
Reader comment on item: CAIR Founded by "Islamic Terrorists"?
in response to reader comment: Hindu Numerals and Zero
Submitted by Solyd_Truth (United States), Nov 21, 2009 at 13:36
Indians DID invent modern numeracy and in fact the concept of Decimals and zero as a number in the value system. Any other assertion is a complete historic fallacy. Ancient and modern Indian mathematics are so highly developed that the Arabs were stunned and learned quite a bit from the Indians on this plane of academia.
