Second oldest book using Hindu Arabic numeral
editThe translators of Principles of Hindu Reckoning wrote in Introduction that this book was the oldest surviving text using Hindu Arabic numerals, his book was published in 1965. However In 1978 a translation of Al-Uqlidisi's book The Arithematic of Al-Uqlidisi by S.A. Saidan appeared, in Book I chapter 1, "On the Nine Letters and the Places" cleary introduced the 9 Hindu Arabic numerals and a circle for empty.--Gisling (talk) 11:51, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Eastern Arabic Numerals
editThe link Hindu numerals is immediately followed by the example "( ० ۱ ۲ ۳ ۴ ۵ ۶ ۷ ۸ ۹)" I tried to fix this to Eastern Arabic numerals and it was reverted by hipeaks35.
Please click on Hindu numerals and Eastern Arabic numerals and just look at the glyphs and you can see my link is correct. OR the text is wrong, in which case the list of glyphs should be changed to "(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)". Please don't blindly revert to what is obviously and trivially provably to be wrong.Spitzak (talk) 16:50, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
