the kind of symbols they have i think lol :P good luck on that one!
The Mayan system is more like Roman numerals than our Hindu-Arabic numbers. It has no sign for 6, for example, but must combine the sign for 5 and the sign for 1. Normal addition and subtraction and especially multiplication and division, as we understand these operations, were difficult if not impossible.
The number zero is needed in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system because as for example it tells us that there is a difference between 207 and 27 but in the Roman numeral system a zero number is not needed because we automatically know that there is a difference between CCVII and XXVII. In fact the Romans had a symbol for zero which was N and its Latin word is 'nihil'
Yes
It is the number system we use everyday.

There are many reasons why the Mayan and the Hindu Arabic number systems are different some of these are why.The Mayan number System has a place value and a non place value system and the Hindu Arabic number system has a place value system.Their based numbers are different, the Mayans is 20 and the Hindu Arabic is 10.The Mayan number system only has three symbols, and the Hindu Arabic number system has up to ten symbols including the zero.Hindu Arabic number system reads or makes it from left to right on the Mayan number system you make or read it from top to bottom.The Mayans also didn't have the concept of fractionThe similarities are that both number systems have a symbol for zero and that both number systems could do addition and subtraction even if it was difficult in the Mayan system
Both make use of a zero symbol but Mayan numbers have 20 as a base whereas Hindu-Arabic numbers have 10 as a base.
