Why Roman Numerals suck and what I've done to improve Arabic Numerals!

Why Roman Numerals suck and what I've done to improve Arabic Numerals!


Vedic and Trachtenberg Mathematics Mashed


No math training led to Australian Numerals


I failed math and have had no formal math training, so please don't even try to outsmart me - you'll win hands down I promise!

In fact maybe I'm stoopid because who else would spend 20 years trying to come up with a better number system than the Romans and Indians (via Arabic numerals).

Maybe it's because I'm a Taurean... Stubborn!

I never really got Roman numerals... And Arabic digits are ok up to 5, yet like many people I struggled a bit with times tables as a kid. So after a bit of a mashup between Vedic Math, and the Trachtenberg system I've created a new set of digits.

Now people get angry at me for advocating the use of fingers for people who have difficulty with math. They say wht bother doing mental math when everyone has a calculator!

So let's see you use a calculator without fingers!

The invention of the binary (base 2 system) led to the death of imagineering numbers.

Because OIOI led to the computer, which has replaced the brain due to linear processing speed.

Out of the 3 people I've shared my Australian Numerals with (apart from my family) 2 have said "It will never catch on because all calculators and computers have Arabic Numerals and a new set of digits simply will never happen!!!

I'll be sharing the details via videos and MP3s so please join my Australian Numerals website to help get the word out when I reveal it! I'll need some sympathy when 2/3 people will most likely give me a hard time because of the global installed hardware base being incompatible with different different digits...

Should I even bother with Australian Numerals? Without going into details just yet (I'll share it all with you free) what do you think? If for example, Roman Numerals were PROVEN better than Arabic, would calculator, computer chip makers change?
