The history of maths (You can use either 'math' or 'maths' with the latter preferred in the UK)

I saw the film "History of Maths" (title needs capitals) on the BBC (accronym/proper name needs capitals) channel. It was so exciting/interesting!

Fistly it explained how ancient Egyptians created numbers and then have guessed how to use them in more complicated ways than just counting. But they didn't create the number "zero". Like they couldn't imagine such an amount.

Then the film explored an ancient Mesapotamia. And their mathematical method of counting in sixties. (By the way I've found all these methods weird and couldn't understand how to use them in real life.)

Then we came into Middleage China and found them using a system of counting familiar to the modern one. I mean (better than I mean would be "I.e.,") to counting in tens. But at that time there were still none of our usual figures to write with.

So finally we came to India in the fifteenth century where they'd discovered the number "zero". Before the European scientists somehow.

That's what all the whole film was about. And I'll see the next series of it.
