US kids no longer need Arabic as Aussie Numerals revealed
The third number system in 2000 years is revealed.
(Australian creation 20 years in the making.)
Australian Numerals are a third number system following on from Roman numerals, which are largely superceded and Arabic numerals which American use today.
Australian Numerals comprise 19 integers. These are the standard Arabic (digits) combined with an additional 9 symbols (pigits) that represent negative integers. As the 'd' in digits points above the 'o' the integers are +ve. As the 'p' in pigits points below the 'o' these integers are -ve.
The designs of the pigits are simply Arabic digits rotated 90 degrees to the left.
Under Australian Numerals it is possible to perform arithmetic with only a knowledge of basic addition, subtraction and times tables up to five.
