What are the development of numerical system?

The development of numerical systems has evolved through several key stages, beginning with tally marks and simple counting systems used by ancient civilizations. These early methods progressed to more sophisticated systems, such as the Babylonian base-60 system and the base-10 system used by the Egyptians. The invention of the positional decimal system, notably by Indian mathematicians, introduced the concept of zero and allowed for more complex calculations. Over time, these systems influenced each other, leading to the modern numerical system widely used today, which incorporates both the Arabic numeral system and various mathematical notations.
