What is positional and nonpositional number system?
The number system now in commonest use worldwide is positional. Consider a number such as 924.37. The position of each digit in the number indicates how significant it is. The digit 9 represents 100s, the 2 10s, the 4 1s, and so on.The Roman number, or 'numeral' system, is non-positional. The value of a character in a number does not depend on its position only. Rather, the value of a character depends on what the character is and on neighbouring characters. Consider a number such as XLIV. In this case the 'X' means ten but only as a modifier for the 'L' which stands for fifty, so that the combination 'XL' means 40.
What are the similarities of the Mayan and the Roman number system?
Both the Mayan and Roman number systems are non-positional, meaning the value of a symbol does not depend on its position within the number. Both systems use additive and subtractive principles to represent numbers. Both systems lack a symbol for zero, which can make calculations more challenging compared to the modern decimal system.
