Topic	Should schools in America teach Arabic Numerals as part of the curriculum?

Arab traders adopted it and when they traded with the West, that's when Europe was exposed to them and called them "Arabic" numerals. Interesting, were they drawn the same way in India where they originated? Roughly. They were more streamlined overtime but you'd recognize them if you saw them. --- https://imgur.com/loj3Iz4 <cite>AmericaTheBrave posted [p:921772790] in Should sch...
