Original Note:
The modern numeral system and algebra were heavily derived from ancient Indian (Hindu) numeral systems (particularly the Brahmi numerals). Hence the official term 'Hindu-Arabic numeral' or 'Indo-Arabic numeral'. The Arabs didn't invent numbers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Hindu%E2%80%93Arabic_numeral_system
