Australian Numerals Revealed After 20 Year Wait

Australian Numerals Revealed After 20 Year Wait


Arabic, like Roman numerals no longer add up!


You are familiar with Roman Numerals such as I V X L C D and M. Thankfully in the year 825AD they were replaced by Hindu-Arabic Numerals (1 to 9 and zero) in a book by Al-Khwarizmi called 'On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals'.

Now Australian Numerals can be added to the rich and diverse history of numbers.

The function of mathematical symbols is to abbreviate with no loss of exactness. The symbols that describe the meaning of mathematics, whether for simple digits, arithmetic or calculus work pretty well. However, it is my view that the deficiency of Arabic Numerals is they inherently deal only with natural, or positive numbers rather than integers, that can be positive or negative. An Arabic numeral becomes negative only when a minus symbol is placed in front of it, while an Australian Numeral may be negative without the need for an extra symbol.

Therefore after more than 20 years of thinking about and experimenting with numbers, I've created Australian Numerals to deal with this deficiency. The main advantage of Australian Numerals for arithmetic is they are simply easier to use than Arabic Numerals alone.

If a child can add and subtract and know their times table to 5 x 5, they can do almost any basic arithmetic.It is expected that various mathematical formulae will be able to be simplified further as a consequence of the application of Australian Numerals.

Jonathan Crabtree Bio

As a child Jonathan failed mathematics. His turning point came when he shattered his spine in a motor accident. At this time he tuurned to meditation and visualisation to control his pain and improve his health.A few years later, without any formal mathematics training or education qualification, Jonathan quit his job to teach young children mathematics.

After making headlines for the innovative way he approached mathematics (children learned with their eyes closed) Jonathan went on the break a Guiness World Record for mindpower. His achievement was to recall six decks of shuffled cards a day after sighting them.

In 2004 Jonathan declared the 1st of May World Message Day to declare war on starvation. While receiving personal messages of support from numerous world leaders, there was little action as a consequence. So Jonathan decided to create and promote Australian Numerals to highlight the simple fact that if just 12 extras people a day are given clean water and quality calories, starvation can be ended in the year 2013 at a fraction of the cost of wars or Wall St bail-outs.

Why Roman Numerals suck and what I've done to improve Arabic Numerals!

Why Roman Numerals suck and what I've done to improve Arabic Numerals!


Vedic and Trachtenberg Mathematics Mashed


No math training led to Australian Numerals


I failed math and have had no formal math training, so please don't even try to outsmart me - you'll win hands down I promise!

In fact maybe I'm stoopid because who else would spend 20 years trying to come up with a better number system than the Romans and Indians (via Arabic numerals).

Maybe it's because I'm a Taurean... Stubborn!

I never really got Roman numerals... And Arabic digits are ok up to 5, yet like many people I struggled a bit with times tables as a kid. So after a bit of a mashup between Vedic Math, and the Trachtenberg system I've created a new set of digits.

Now people get angry at me for advocating the use of fingers for people who have difficulty with math. They say wht bother doing mental math when everyone has a calculator!

So let's see you use a calculator without fingers!

The invention of the binary (base 2 system) led to the death of imagineering numbers.

Because OIOI led to the computer, which has replaced the brain due to linear processing speed.

Out of the 3 people I've shared my Australian Numerals with (apart from my family) 2 have said "It will never catch on because all calculators and computers have Arabic Numerals and a new set of digits simply will never happen!!!

I'll be sharing the details via videos and MP3s so please join my Australian Numerals website to help get the word out when I reveal it! I'll need some sympathy when 2/3 people will most likely give me a hard time because of the global installed hardware base being incompatible with different different digits...

Should I even bother with Australian Numerals? Without going into details just yet (I'll share it all with you free) what do you think? If for example, Roman Numerals were PROVEN better than Arabic, would calculator, computer chip makers change?

1st math lesson from Australian Numerals


I want to clarify that I don't consider myself a mathematician. You see I got stuck at basic math and never did any advanced math. What I did do was use visualisation as a tool to teach algebraic equations. My Australian Numerals are a new set of digits that will simplify basic math and perhaps cut a few years off the 'left brain' education emphasis in schools.

In the meantime, please hop over to this link and you can see a couple of really simple math lessons taught in a different way.

I'd be interested in what you think... It's pretty simplistic yet helpful for most math phobics!http://www.AustralianNumerals.com/free_non_usa.html

Cheers mate!

Roman, Arabic and now Australian Numerals


Australian Numerals - 20 Years in the making


Roman numerals look cool carved on granite. They even look cool on expensive watches. But as for arithmetic - forget it! Arabic numerals are more practical, largely thank to the good ol' zero. Yet it may not be as good as Australian Numerals!
