Numerical
notation : a comparative history
by Stephen Chrisomalis
QA41 .C47
2010
Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University
Press, 2010.
ix, 486 p. : ill. ;
24 cm.
ISBN: 0521878187
ISBN13: 9780521878180
This book is a cross-cultural
reference volume of all attested numerical notation systems
(graphic, non-phonetic systems for representing numbers),
encompassing more than 100 such systems used over the past 5,500
years. Using a typology that defies progressive, unilinear
evolutionary models of change, Stephen Chrisomalis identifies
five basic types of numerical notation systems, using a cultural
phylogenetic framework to show relationships between systems and
to create a general theory of change in numerical systems.
Numerical notation systems are primarily representational
systems, not computational technologies. Cognitive factors that
help explain how numerical systems change relate to general
principles, such as conciseness or avoidance of ambiguity, which
apply also to writing systems. The transformation and
replacement of numerical notation systems relates to specific
social, economic, and technological changes, such as the
development of the printing press or the expansion of the global
world-system.
