One thinks
that the basic concepts of mathematics between the Mayans
were originated with the Olmecas. The Zapotecas also
used a system very similar to the one of the Mayans.
The system nevertheless was refined and elevated at
other levels by the Mayan town. The mathematical one
of the Mayans is easy to use. The Mayan system of count
required only three symbols: a point = one, a bar =
five, and one shell = to zero. |
| These three
symbols were used in the several combinations so that
the people who did not count on specialized education
could make the simple Arithmetic. The Mayans also used
the symbols for the numbers from the 0 to the 19 instead
of the points and I sweep. These symbol sometimes is
called “the head symbol” because they had
the form of different human heads. These symbols could
be separated or to be combined with the points and bars
to do I number. For example, you could have a head symbol
that symbolized number 15 and next to him 4 I sweep
doing the amount of to 19. |

The Mayans
long before understood the value of the zero that almost
all the civilizations and this was one of the incredible
advantages but for the Mayans, because they used this
to make advanced calculations but. The system of the
Mayan enumeration this based on 20 instead of 10. This
means that instead of the 1, 10, 100, and 10.000 of
our mathematical system, the Mayan used 1, 20, 400,
8.000 and 160,000. The Mayan numbers are written of
down upwards. |
|
For example, 19 they are three bars that count 15 with
four points in the top. Great numbers but that 19 were
represented by the same class of succession, but a point
was position on the whole number for each group of 20.
The twenty were represented by a shell with a point
raises. For example, to write 31 (two I sweep and a
point) with a point upon which it represents an additional
group of 20. The Mayan numbers were easy to use and
helped all the population to add and to reduce, for
example, to add 9 and 6 you would have a bar and four
points in a side (9) and one sweep with a point (6)
in the other. Both they would be united to make three
bars that represent 15........ |
