I recently have learned the different number systems through out time. They are Egyptian, Babylonian, Mayan, and of course the decimal system. These each are quite challenging and can cause some discouragement.
The Egyptian math is base 10 just like our decimal system. Babylonian is base 60 and the Mayan is modified base 20. These types of numbers also have weird symbols to represent numbers. To see the Egyptian symbols click here. The Babylonian symbols can be shown by clicking on this link. And lastly the Mayan symbols are shown here.
These number systems are interesting. I enjoyed learning about them.
