Numbers and angles
Posted by Tjeerd on April 16, 2009
You probably think that numbers and angles don’t have anything in common, but have you ever been thinking about the idea behind why numbers looks like … numbers? Today I heard from an Indian colleague that every number actually represent(ed) the amount of angles (or corners) it contains. I looked on the internet and there is indeed a theory behind numbers and angles, but it’s not easy to recognize it back in all numbers nowadays.
Heyyyyy! this is really really surprising
But the origin of these arabic numbers are of indian. I wonder if it was also the case in the original indian numbers.
