Original Note:
“Arabic numerals” were so named because they were introduced to the West by Arabs. However, their origin lies in ancient India, where they were developed by Hindu mathematicians. “Hindu–Arabic” or simply “Hindu numerals” is a more accurate term in contemporary discourse. https://brill.com/view/journals/nun/36/1/article-p5_2.xml
