It probably predates writing. The early development of the decimal system was done by counting on the fingers and toes.
The Dutch astronomer, Willebrord Snellius, calculated pi to 35 decimal places in the early 17th Century.
The first decimal system was introduced in the 4th Century BC by the Sumerians of Mesopotamia, to whom the invention of writing is credited. They based their numerical system on powers of 60 subdivided into multiples of 10. It was from this system that Sumero-Babylonians developed the time system that we use today: each hour is divided into 60 minutes, which are divided into 60 seconds. However, they did not have a symbol for zero, which was introduced by Arabians only toward the end of the first millennium BC. It is thought that the zero could have been devised by Indian Hindu mathematicians because the concept of nothing was important in their early religion and philosophy.
The Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks were involved in the early development of geometry. However, the Greeks were major contributors to this field. Pythagoras, Thales, and Euclid are some men most famous for their contributions to this field.
The origin of numbers can be traced back to ancient civilizations, with different cultures developing their own number systems. The Sumerians and Babylonians developed a base-60 number system, while the ancient Egyptians used a base-10 system. The concept of zero and the decimal system were later introduced by Indian mathematicians. These early number systems laid the foundation for the development of mathematics as we know it today.
