Did Archimedes create the number system?

Answer 1

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We cannot forget the steps of Chronology; in which we can learn and deduce many questions to join the facts. Of course, Archimedes ( 287 - 212 )BC, as a Mathematician did a lot on the number system; he was working on that for he had a profound sense of the numbers he was trying to find out: his graphical calculation of limits, much before Sir Isaac newton ( 1642 - 1727 ).

Now, according to the history of Mathematics; in Greece, the first to work on the number system was Thales of Miletus ( 640 - 535 )BC; for some writers ( 624 - 546 )BC.

The Number System is a creation that has come from a long time from Babylon. Mathematicians were able of working with the number systems from the Renaissance to the present day. It should be remembered that Ancient numbers were neither perfectly alphabetical nor completely consisting in writing, touching the definition of Wisdom.
