Re:How did anyone do math in Roman numerals? (2017) by chrismarlow9 on Monday July 27, 2020 @09:38PM (#23971413)
I'm reading a book called Mathematics from the Birth of Numbers by Jan Gullberg and it covers these systems from various cultures in depth. Great book and easy to read even for the non mathematician. It reads like a cross between a history book and a technical reference. This is literally the first topic in the book.
