One curiosity is the small difference between the Spanish numerical systems and the Anglo-Saxon one. The Indo-Arabic numerical system is still used today and is the base of significant scientific development and universal mathematics. One example of this was the very precise Mayan numerical system. With the expanding European empires, the number system spread throughout the West, substituting local number systems such as those found in Latin America. Towards the year 1500, the system was already in place and used clearly in mathematical texts. In Spain, this numeration system appeared in manuscripts as early as 976 AD.
