	The Hindu-Arabic Numerals by David Eugene Smith , Louis Charles Karpinski

So familiar are we with the numerals that bear the misleading name of Arabic, and so extenisve is their use in Europe and the Americas, that it is difficult for us to realize that their general acceptance in the transactions of commerce is a matter of only the last four centuries, and that they are unknown to a very large part of the human race today. It seems strange that such a laborsaving device should have struggled for nearly a thousand years after its system of place value was perfected before it replaced such crude notations as the one that the Roman conqueror made sustantially universal in Europe.

Such, however, is the case, and there is probable no one who has not at least some slight passing interest in the story of this struggle. To the mathema tician and the student of civilization the interest is generally a deep one; to the teacher of the elements of knowlendge the interest may be less marked. This story has often been told in part, but it is a long time since any effort has been made to bring together the fragmentary narrations and to set forth the general problem of the origin and development of these numerals.

In this little work the author has attempted to state the history of these forms in small compass, to place before the student materials for the investigation of the problems involved, and to express as clearly as possible the results of the labors of scholars who have studied the subject in different parts of the World.
