Natalie Davis 🇺🇸🇵🇹🇺🇦<p>"A Number System Invented by Inuit Schoolchildren Will Make Its Silicon Valley Debut</p><p>In the remote Arctic almost 30 years ago, a group of Inuit middle school students and their teacher invented the Western Hemisphere’s first new number system in more than a century. The “Kaktovik numerals,” named after the Alaskan village where they were created, looked utterly different from decimal system numerals and functioned differently, too. But they were uniquely suited for quick, visual arithmetic using the traditional Inuit oral counting system, and they swiftly spread throughout the region. Now, with support from Silicon Valley, they will soon be available on smartphones and computers—creating a bridge for the Kaktovik numerals to cross into the digital realm."</p><p>🔗: <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-number-system-invented-by-inuit-schoolchildren-will-make-its-silicon-valley-debut/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">scientificamerican.com/article</span><span class="invisible">/a-number-system-invented-by-inuit-schoolchildren-will-make-its-silicon-valley-debut/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Inuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inuit</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/KaktovikNumerals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KaktovikNumerals</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/numerals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>numerals</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unicode</span></a></p>
