The Hindu-Arabic number system is based on ten number characters, including one symbol for zero. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Here appeared the number and symbol zero for the first time. [The Greeks were strong on ratios and logic, but the idea of a name for nothing - for something that had no existence - was beyond them. ]
The roman number system used symbols such as I, II, V, X, L, M and D - in no particular order. 6 = VI, 11 = XI, 19 = IXX . This made calculation quite complex.
[The mayan number system had discovered zero quite independently, but their number system was based on a set of 20 symbols, built up from a few different marks.]
