Hi team, I thought this could be good for us to share.
How numerals 0-9 got their shape - Interesting. Do you know why numbers look like they do? Someone, at some point in time, had to create their shapes and meaning.
Watch this short presentation, and then you will know how our Arabic numbers were originally created a very long time ago and what logic the people that created them used to determine their shapes.
It is really very simple and quite creative. You have to admire the intelligence of a person or people that created something so simple and perfect that it has lasted for thousands and thousands of years and will probably never change.
When the presentation gets to the number "seven," you will notice that the 7 has a line through the middle of it. That was the way the Arabic 7 was originally written, and in Europe and certain other areas, they still write the 7 that way. Also, in the military, they commonly write it that way.
The nine has a kind of curly tail on it that has been reduced, for the most part nowadays, to a simple curve, but the logic involved still applies.

Kelvin, nice to see your post. It's interesting to note that the concept of zero, invented by Indians, follows the same logic as Arab numerals. Zero is represented by the number of angles, with zero angles denoting the concept of nothingness.
Please let me know if you need any further clarification or assistance.

I beg to differ...not convinced about the explanation. Numbers 1, 2, 3 were okay, but the rest of the numbers look modified more to suit the purpose of the explanation rather than reality. Moreover, some numbers have an original appearance while others have a digital appearance only to suit the purpose of angles.
Regarding member responses, I was really surprised. As the saying goes, "What's good for the goose is also good for the gander."

Dear Kelvin,
It was great to learn the logic behind the numbers. We use numbers for almost everything in life but never take the time to wonder why they are written in a certain fashion! Thanks again for such amazing knowledge!

I beg to differ... I'm not convinced about the explanation. All numbers look modified more to suit the purpose of explanation rather than reality. Moreover, some numbers have a digital appearance while others have a geometrical appearance only to suit the purpose of explaining angles rather than logic.
