The "Arabic" numerals (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0) which make math so much more comprehensible that the Roman numerals (I, V, X, L, C, D, M) are actually HINDU numerals which the Arabs started to use. Europe learned them from the Arabs and so gave them their misleading name.

Lots of things take names from transmitters rather than inventors. For example, to be a true "Panama" hat, it must be made in Equador.
