Talk:Āryabhaṭa numeration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If anybody has a reasonable understanding of Mathematics and Algebra, it appears to me that these "Sanskrit numerals" are in fact Sanskrit pronumerals. Am I wrong? Gizza^{Chat ©} 05:18, 18 January 2007 (UTC) Oops, sorry I'm wrong but while they aren't pronumerals, they don't seem to be numerals either. One, two and three in Sanskrit is eka dvau and triyam, not ka, kha, gha. Gizza^{Chat ©} 05:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger, and what is the correct title

This article and Aryabhata cipher clearly refer to the same number representation system. But if there is some debate as to whether this is a numeral system or something slightly different, perhaps we need to work out what the correct title is before the merge! --AndyKali 14:40, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Judging by the contents of Greek numerals and Hebrew numerals, I'd say this qualifies as a numeral system. It just needs a link to Indian numerals to cover itself on both Sanskrit numeral systems. Proposing to merge to this article title. --AndyKali 15:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
