	Numeral system
		Numeral systems are sometimes called number systems, but that name is misleading: different systems of numbers, such as the system of real numbers, the system of complex numbers, the system of p-adic numbers, etc., are not the topic of this article.
		The simplest numeral system is the unary numeral system, in which every natural number is represented by a corresponding number of symbols.
		The numeral system of English is of this type ("three hundred [and] four"), as are those of virtually all other spoken languages, regardless of what written systems they have adopted.

		These systems gradually converged on a common sexagesimal number system; this was a place-value system consisting of only two impressed marks, the vertical wedge and the chevron, which could also represent fractions.
		Sexagesimal numerals were a mixed radix system that retained the alternating base 10 and base 6 in a sequence of cuneiform vertical wedges and chevrons.
		The oldest Greek system was the that of the Attic numerals, but in the 4th century BCE they began to use a quasidecimal alphabetic system (see Greek numerals).

	Binary numeral system
		The binary or base-two numeral system is a system for representing numbers in which a radix of two is used; that is, each digit in a binary numeral may have either of two different values.
		The first known description of a binary numeral system was made by Pingala in his Chhandah-shastra, placed variously in the 5th century BC or the 2nd century BC.
		In the binary system, however, it is customary to use the two's complement notation for performing subtraction.

	Binary numeral system
		The binary or base-two numeral system is a representation for numbers that uses a radix of two.
		For example, the binary numeral "100" is pronounced "one zero zero", rather than "one hundred", in order to make explicit the fact that a binary numeral is being discussed, as well as for purposes of correctness.
		In the binary system, however, it is customary to use the two's complement[?] notation for performing subtraction.

		Abu'l-Wafa, who was himself an expert in the use of Indian numerals, nevertheless wrote a text on how to use finger-reckoning arithmetic since this was the system used by the business community and teaching material aimed at these people had to be written using the appropriate system.
		The numerals had changed their form somewhat 100 years later when this copy of one of al-Biruni's astronomical texts was made.
		The form of the numerals in the west of the Arabic empire look more familiar to those using European numerals today which is not surprising since it is from these numerals that the Indian number system reach Europe.

		The Arabic numeral system is a positional base 10 numeral system with 10 distinct glyphs representing the 10 numerical digits.
		In a more developed form, the Arabic numeral system also uses a decimal marker (at first a mark over the ones digit but now more usually a decimal point or a decimal comma which separates the ones place from the tenths place), and also a symbol for “these digits repeat ad infinitum” (recur).
		Because the Chinese Hua Ma system (see Chinese numerals) is also a positional base-10 system, Hua Ma numerals—or some numeral system similar to it—may have been the inspiration for the base-10 positional numeral system that evolved in India.

	Justus: NUMERACY AND THE GERMANIC UPPER DECADES PART 1
		As late as 1951 and 1960 the role of tokens in the evolution of numeracy and the pre-standardized archaic numeration systems of the Ancient Middle East were not yet known.
		Numeral bases might be expressed as powers of 10, but the jump in the number of powers between numeral bases 'thousand' and 'million' reflects the linguistic role of 'thousand' as an exponential base of 'million'.
		Breaks in the standard French decade system reflect factors [10 and 6] operating on base units 10 and 60 as far as 79 and factors [10, 2, and 5] operating on base units 10 and 20 from 80 to 99.

	ARTIFICIALLY GROWING A NUMERAL SYSTEM
		AI systems are typically architecturally complex, embodying the programmer's analysis of the particular manifestation of intelligence under study (such as chess, parsing, visual processing, face recognition).
		In these systems, either all the numeral expressions are monomorphemic (or at least do not contain more than one morpheme with a numerical interpretation), or a relatively low number, such as 2, 3, 4, or 5, is used as a basis of addition (or very much more rarely of subtraction or multiplication).
		The main problem with this system is the lexical gaps for values 1 and 7, and the gaps caused by the fact that the words for 4 and 5 are not of the appropriate syntactic category to fit into the higher-valued syntactic constructions.

	The Enneagram - History of the Decimal System
		A noteworthy characteristic of the Chinese system, and one that represented a substantial advantage over the Mediterranean systems, was its predilection for a decimal notation, as demonstrated by foot rulers dating back as far as the 6th century BC.
