ARITHMETIC-M. M, City. Arithmetic while
the simplest, is also the most ancient mathe.
NAUTICAL art treating of numbers The earliest
history OF the art is lost, but the science began,
as all other sciences, with The Greeks. The
Greek arithmetic was deficient, however, in
using letters for signs of numbers and moreover
in having no mark for zero. The Indian meth cd
was introduced into Europe by The Arabs In
the fourteenth century and dlffused over the
continent by means OF almanacs. 1t was not
until the sixteenth century that il had assumed
It's present form and come into general use
among the learned. Still another century elapsed
before the common people were acquainted with
the art. Arithmetic uses only the nine Arabic or
Indian digits and a zero cipher, tile introduction
great distinction of modern arithmetic. The
decimal system probably possesses no special
advantages over The du0decimal, which the
Greeks used, except in the employment Of a
"naught."
