1-01 The ancient Egyptian number system

The ancient Egyptians used one of the earliest number systems about 5000 years ago. Pictures called

hieroglyphs

represented words or sounds. They were written on papyrus (a type of paper made from reeds) or painted on walls.

The hieroglyphic symbols used by the Egyptians were:

1-02 Australian Aboriginal number systems

The Australian Aboriginal way of life had no need for a complicated number system. Their society relied on story-telling, using the spoken language rather than writing, and Aboriginal people did not have symbols for numbers. Different regions had their own names for numbers. The

Belyando River people

of central Queensland used only two words to name their numbers:1

lived in northern New South Wales, including the regions surrounding Moree and Tamworth. They used three words to name their numbers.1

1-03 The Babylonian number system

The ancient kingdom of Babylon existed from about 3000 to 200

BC

where Iraq is today. Babylonian writing used wedge shapes called

cuneiform

.

The wedges were stamped into clay tablets which were then baked. Babylonian numerals also used cuneiform.While our number system is based on 10 and 100, the Babylonian number system was based on 10 and 60. This wedge stood for 1: A sideways wedge stood for 10:

A larger wedge stood for 60:

1-04 The Roman number systemThe Roman empire was one of the greatest empires. Roman numerals were invented about 2000 years ago. They were used until the end of the 16th century. Today they are used mainly in clocks and for some page numbers in books. The Romans used the following numerals:

1 2 3 4 5I II III IV V6 7 8 9 10

VI VII VIII IX X

Exercise 1-03

Example 3

Show how a Babylonian would have written each of these numbers.a 15 b 252

Solutionab For numbers greater than 60, we need to find how many 60s divide into them.

252 ÷ 60 = 4 and remainder 12 because 4 × 60 = 240So 252 = (4 × 60) + 10 + 2.In Babylonian numerals, 252 is:

8 NEW CENTURY MATHS 7

The Romans had an unusual method of writing certain numbers:• Instead of writing 4 as IIII, they wrote IV meaning V − I (that is 5 − 1 = 4).• Instead of writing 9 as VIIII they wrote IX meaning X − I (that is 10 − 1 = 9).• For 90, they wrote XC (that is 100 − 10 = 90).

1 Titus, a student in ancient Rome, wrote these numerals. Change them into our numbers.a XXVI b XL c CCLXIV d LIVe MMCLIX f MCMXC g XCVIII h MDVII

2 What would Titus have written for these numbers?a 365 b 36 c 79 d 97e 2600 f 344 g 999 h 3473

3 Why do you think Roman numerals are no longer widely used?

4 The Roman word for hundred was ‘centum’ which is why C stands for 100. List some words beginning with ‘cent’ that mean one hundred of something.

• The Chinese write from top to bottom.• The symbols in a number are grouped in

pairs and the numbers in each pair are multiplied together.

• The products are added to give the number.

10 NEW CENTURY MATHS 7

1-06 The Hindu–Arabic number systemOur number system goes back to the Hindus (who lived in India) and came to Europe through the Middle East/Arabia. Our system needs only ten symbols called digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. It is easier to use because it has a zero and the position of each numeral determines its value. This is called place value. The numerals first appeared in Europe in the 10th century, but were different to the ten numerals we use today.The following table shows how our numerals have changed over time.

The Hindus called the zero ‘sunya’ meaning a void. Other names used were ‘cipher’, ‘nought’ and the Arabic ‘sifr’.Even today, different cultures use different symbols:

Place valueWe can write any number using only ten symbols or digits. When we write numbers, each column has a special value called the place value.

Googol-plexingThe number 10100, the googol, is 1 followed by one hundred zeros. The name ‘googol’ was created by the 9-year-old nephew of American mathematician Dr Edward Kasner.The number 10googol, that is 1 followed by a googol zeros, is called the googolplex.The googol is a very big number but it is rarely used for practical purposes. Even the number of particles in the observable universe, estimated at being between 1072 and 1087, is less than a googol!The Internet search engine Google was named after the googol, to reflect the huge size of the world wide web. It was invented in 1996 by two Stanford University students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Google is a powerful search engine becauseit can find information from at least 25 billion web pages in less than 1 second.How many googols are there in a googolplex?

We will now review these operations.

Mental skills 1A

Multiplying by a multiple of 10Place value allows us to simply add zeros to the end of a number whenever we multiplyby a power of 10. The zeros at the end shift all the other digits one or more places to the left which results in them having higher place values.

1 Examine these examples.a 37 × 10 = 370 b 45 × 100 = 4500c 16 × 1000 = 16 000 d 100 × 1000 = 100 000e 7 × 90 = 7 × 9 × 10 = 63 × 10 = 630f 5 × 400 = 5 × 4 × 100 = 20 × 100 = 2000g 12 × 300 = 12 × 3 × 100 = 36 × 100 = 3600h 40 × 800 = 4 × 10 × 8 × 100 = 4 × 8 × 10 × 100 = 32 × 100 = 32 000

2 Now simplify these.a 18 × 100 b 26 × 1000 c 77 × 10 000 d 10 × 100e 315 × 1000 f 1000 × 1000 g 294 × 10 h 475 × 100i 3 × 80 j 8 × 200 k 6 × 50 l 7 × 30m 2 × 6000 n 11 × 900 o 4 × 400 p 5 × 700q 5 × 80 r 25 × 20 s 300 × 60 t 900 × 4000

What is a spreadsheet?A spreadsheet is like a calculator. We can enter data and solve many problems more easily, using an Excel spreadsheet.Spreadsheets are made up of many cells. As we go across the page, we change the column (A, B, C, D, etc.). As we go down the page, the row changes (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.).

Using formulasTo write a formula in a cell, always start with an equal sign ‘=’. A spreadsheet uses special symbols to do calculations. Consider these basic operations:

a =A1+A2+A3 or =sum(A1:A3) means add the values in cells A1, A2 and A3b =A5-A4 means subtract the value in cell A4 from the value in cell A5c =A1*A3 means multiply the value in cell A1 by the value in cell A3d =A5/4 means divide the value in cell A5 by 4 (/ is used instead of ÷)e =A2^2 means square the value in cell A2 (instead of (A2)2)f =average(A1:A5) means find the average of all values in cells A1 to A5

1 Enter the following numbers into cells as shown below, where m represents the value in cell B1, n is the value in cell B2, p is the value in cell B3, and so on.

2 Enter the following formulas into the given cells.

a C1, q − 7 (means enter the formula into cell C1 as shown above)b C2, n − m c C3, 2 × r − 7d C4, 3 × ( p + q) e C5, p × q × r

Cryptic arithmeticSimple codes can be made by replacing letters with other letters, symbols or numbers. Number codes are studied in a branch of mathematics called cryptic arithmetic. Your challenge is to figure out which letter replaces which number.The addition: 99 could become: KK

+ 22 + DD

121 RDRwhere K = 9, D = 2 and R = 1.Note that K + D gives an answer bigger than 10 so carrying will be involved. To solve cryptic arithmetic problems, you need to know about carrying digits when adding. Choose any of the following problems from 1 to 7.1 ON + ON + ON + ON = GO Hint: Set it out as a column sum.

2 N I NE Hint: Try R = 0 and N = 5−F OUR
