Slide 5

Numerical Systems Numerical systems are based on grouping systems that rely on certain bases. Represent a useful set of numbers Give every number represented a unique representation Reflect the algebraic and arithmetic structure of the numbers Our numerical system is a base 10 system. Can you think of different ways that we use a base 10 system everyday? Next

Slide 6

A base-5 system has been used in many cultures for counting. It originated from counting the number of fingers on a human hand. A base-8 system was devised by the Yuki tribe of Northern California, who used the spaces between the fingers to count, corresponding to the digits one through eight. Continue

Slide 7

There are many other bases that have been used in ancient times and in present day. Base 5- South American Tribes Base 20- Mayan Base 60- Babylonian Cuneiform Can you think of things that are base 12 that we see everyday? Continue

Correct Answer! Great job! Keep going! Next

Slide 11

Base 10 Systems Along with our modern number system that we use everyday, many other civilizations also use base 10 systems like the Egyptians, Ancient Chinese-Japanese, Attic Greek, and Romans. But how did our system come to be how it is today? Lets Find Out!

Slide 12

Hindu-Arabic Number System As early as 250 B.C., the Hindus of India invented a new number system. The oldest preserved examples are found on stone columns erected in India by King Asoka. It is likely that traders and travelers of the Mediterranean coast introduced the new number system to the Arabs. In 711 A.D., the Arabs invaded Spain and the number system emerged into Europe. Next

Slide 13

The Arabs invaded Spain in 711 A.D., bringing their number system along with them. Continue http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~vandersp/Courses/maps/fullmap2.jpg

Slide 14

The early engravings do not have a zero or the positional notation. The Hindu-Arabic number system became popular because it was easier to write out calculations. Later, when zero and the positional system were developed, the Hindu-Arabic number system became superior than any of the other number systems being used at the time. Aryabhatta of Kusumapura who lived during the 5 th century developed the place value notation and Brahmagupta later introduced the symbol zero in the 6 th century. Lets see what youve learned!

Slide 15

Why is our modern number system called the Hindu-Arabic number system? The Hindus and the Arabs developed the number system at the same exact time. The Hindus invented the number system, and then Arabs continued to spread it around Europe. The Hindus and the Arabs were at war with each other over the number system. The Arabs invented the number system and the Hindus stole it from them.

Slide 16

Incorrect Answer! Sorry, you didnt get the question right. Heres a hint: Remember who brought the number system to Spain during the conquest of 711 A.D. Go back and review Try Again!

Slide 17

Correct! Great Job! Youre ready to learn more about different number systems! Next

Slide 18

Simple Number Systems Many numeral systems are simple. Simple means that there is a symbol for the base number, b, and also a symbol for b 2, b 3, b 4, etc. A number is expressed by using these symbols additively, repeating the symbol a certain number of times. Examples of simple number systems are: Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Attic Greek, and Roman Numerals. Learn about Egyptian!

Slide 19

Egyptian Hieroglyphics This system was used in Egypt until the first century B.C. Hieroglyphics are based on a scale of 10 and consecutive bases of 10. There are symbols for 1, 10, 10 2,10 3,10 4, 10 5, and 10 6. Multiples of these values were expressed by repeating the symbol as many times as needed Learn more!

Slide 20

Egyptian Hieroglyphics were used in Egypt throughout Persian rule in the 6 th and 5 th centuries B.C. and even after Alexander the Greats conquest during the Macedonian and Roman periods. Learn more! http://www.iziko.org.za/sh/resources/egypt/images/map_e1_l.gif

Slide 28

Attic Greek Attic Greek was developed sometime before the third century B.C. Like Egyptian Hieroglyphics, there are symbols for 1, 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000. But, there is also a symbol for 5. Learn more!

Slide 29

Attic Greek was used until the 4th century BC, when it was replaced by Koine Greek, known as the Common Dialect. http://www.thucydides.netfirms.com/thucydi des/greece_ancient_sm.gif Next

Slide 30

Special use of 5 ( ) Another special feature is that when there are more than 5 of the same symbol, Greeks used with the symbol and wrote the remaining symbols. Examples 8 is written as 700 is written as Continue

Slide 34

Correct Answer! Fantastic work! Youre doing great! Move on to Roman Numerals

Slide 35

Roman Numerals The last type of simple grouping system is Roman Numerals. Roman Numerals were the standard numbering system in Ancient Rome and Europe until around 900 AD, when the Hindu-Arabic system emerged. There is no symbol for 0 in Roman Numerals. Learn more!

Slide 36

Although the Roman numerals are now written with letters of the Roman alphabet, they were originally independent symbols. Next

Slide 37

Roman Numerals Learn the subtraction rule!

Slide 38

Subtraction Rule In modern times, the subtractive principle has become very common when writing Roman Numerals. I can precede only V or X Examples 4 is written as IV 9 is written as IX X can precede only L or C Examples 40 is written as XL 90 is written as XC C can precede only D or M Examples 400 is written as CD 900 is written as CM Examples!

Slide 43

Correct Answer! You are ready to move on to Multiplicative Number Systems! Keep going!

Slide 44

Multiplicative Number Systems In a multiplicative system, there are only symbols for 1-9, 10, 10 2, 10 3, etc. We need to first write the number in expanded form. Examples 54= 5 x 10 + 4 613= 6 x 10 2 + 1 x 10 + 3 So, we dont need to have a number for 40. Instead, we can write it as 4 x 10. One example of a multiplicative system is that of the Ancient Chinese-Japanese. http://bbs.chinadaily.com.cn/attachments/month_0901/chinese-paper-cutting-40120141324284_qOeMAVE7WlRD.jpg Start

Slide 45

Ancient Chinese-Japanese Number System The traditional Chinese-Japanese number system has characters for the numerals 0 through 9, 10, 100, and 1000. Numbers are written in expanded form from top to bottom instead of left to right. Since this system has a symbol for 0, it is used as a place holder. Learn more!

Slide 52

Correct Answer! Awesome work! Keep it up! Learn about Positional Number Systems

Slide 53

Positional Number Systems Before writing a number in positional numeral system, it is necessary to convert the number to a different base. If the base is b, there are basic symbols for 0, 1, 2, b-1. These are called the digits. More

Slide 54

There are two civilizations that used positional number systems (other than our modern Hindu-Arabic system) Mayan (base 20) Babylonian Cuneiform (base 60) Sometimes, if the number in a position is bigger than 10, we use a comma to separate the digits. Example- in a base 20 system, digits are from 0-19. It would be very confusing if the digits were 18, 19, and 5. If someone wrote 18195, no one would know where the distinct digits are. So, use commas to separate digits to eliminate confusion. Learn to compute in different bases

Slide 63

Correct Answer! Good work! Youre ready to learn more about Babylonian Cuneiform! Learn now!

Slide 64

Babylonian Cuneiform The Babylonians used clay tablets to write with. They pressed into the wet clay with a stylus that was shaped like a triangle. Remember that the Babylonians used a base 60 system. First, convert the number to base 60. Only use digits from 0-59 when writing the numerals in cuneiform. Next

Slide 65

Knowledge of cuneiform was lost until 1835 A.D., when Henry Rawlinson, an English army officer, found inscriptions on a cliff at Behistun in Persia. http://kbagdanov.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/map-1.jpg Next

Slide 66

Pay attention to the way that the stylus is facing, different ways mean different numbers! A triangle facing right is the symbol for 10. A triangle pointing down is the symbol for 1. A triangle pointing down beside a triangle facing the left is the symbol for subtraction. Keep going!

Slide 67

Why the subtraction sign?!?! The Babylonians decided to use the subtraction sign to limit the number of symbols being used. For example, it is easier and uses less symbols to write 10-1 than it is to write 9 1s. 10-1 9 Lets see some examples

Slide 72

Mayan Vegesimal system The Mayans used a base 20 system. During Spanish expeditions in the Yucatan in the early sixteenth-century, this number system was discovered. The numbers are written very simply with dots and dashes which probably originated as pebbles and sticks. Learn more!

Slide 73

The Mayans had a sophisticated number system, but a little complex because it is base 20. The Mayans probably chose five and twenty as the two bases of their system as there are five fingers on one hand, and twenty fingers and toes on one person. http://archives.zinester.com/13183/10640 4/159685_mayamap_L.gif Next

Slide 74

Mayan Numerals Notice that the numbers only range from 0 to 19 because the base is 20. Examples
