punjabi_khota Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus, the Decimal System, Zero originated in India i thought the arabs did this first? Lol you are wrong. The arabs learned algebra from Indians, and then built upon that work. Basically some dude travelled to India, learned it there and introduced it to arab world.
Clarke Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 And there's another set of people suggesting the greeks were the innovators in math/geometry.. does that matter ?
retterimp Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 how dare you credit hard Indian work to the Arabs true lol. i think the arabs themselves call the numbers the Hind numeral system or something like that. Its funny that we still call them Arabic numerals, but the Arabs themselves dont!
