Исследования в теории чисел: путешествие по цифровой вселенной.
Roughly 37,000 years ago, for reasons not completely understood, one of the first humans scratched 55 tally marks into a wolf bone (now called the Lebombo bone after the mountain range in which it was found). Perhaps they were tallying kills, marking time as a primitive calendar, or merely expressing an early interest in number theory as a hobby. Regardless of the intent, other bone artifacts from the Paleolithic era show a clear progression of this system, moving from individual marks to groups of marks organized in a way similar to the modern system of tallying in groups of five.
The Egyptian system for doing this, hieroglyphs, is an additive system, meaning that each symbol represents a set value and a number is represented by a collection of symbols whose sum has the desired value. By introducing new symbols for powers of 10 as the need arose, they could abstractly express any natural number.
