I remember watching this in math class in 1991. I wasn't surprised by the ending. I wasn't expecting them to say "Well, gee... I guess no one needs math. Sorry for wasting your time."
I actually didn't have to learn math by myself. No, I had help. I once saw my old teacher back in college. I didn't know what to say to him. All is he said to me was: Carlos, you were a good student. I still don't have the plenty of notion of how algorithm works. But I do love that one teacher for showing me algebra
Sort of, the numbers have changed a bit since then, but the system was really about angles. The number of angles of a numerical equaled its value. They didn't invent numbers, just the numbers that we (sort of) use today.
ToTheTrue YAH even in the cities the Mexicans in there are mostly all mestizo looking like full blooded native Americans and I’m Salvadoran and even I know that.
Without math Who would know the statistics of a Major League baseball player wearing NFL football player or an NBA basketball player for an NHL hockey player without math how can you learn how to fix a vehicle what popper tools you need a mathematics.
The "wheel" was not as useful to the Aztecs as it was for the rest of the world. The rest of the world had "beasts of burden" (horses, cows, etc.) that make the wheel practical. With "use", came more ideas as to how to improve on it. No such animals existed before the Europeans brought them over.
Umm.. Indians (as in from the Indian subcontinent) made the modern day numbering system, they were the ones who discovered and completely understood the concept of the modern day zero (I use modern day because several civilizations did have a faint concept of the zero, Mayans, Chinese, Mesopotamian, even the Greek) Incidentally they needed it for a very important religious question, 'what is 3-3?' Subcontinent people are weird
