@tibees: Full video about this book is up on my YouTube channel called "Fibonacci slop is out of control" #math #historyofmath #fibonacci

Peewee :

How can it be the most influential book if almost no one read it. It must be then because the few that did read it, spread that information to those that didn't read it Who were the ones that did read it?

Mr Squidly Squish :

What’s the price of this book? Can I buy it for a gift?

Stuart :

Changing a civilisations entire approach to numbers is ... wild

amel | أمل 🎀 :

A few years ago you made a video about how the notion of changes on a plane we can’t perceive and I’ve been thinking about it ever since

Hardcore, godless communist :

In Italian, a ‘c’ followed by an ‘i’ or an ‘e’ makes a sound like the English ‘ch.’ The title would sound like ‘Lee-bear Ah-bah-chee.’

I can’t seem to find this edition. I can only find a different one at an absurdly high price—considering it’s “out of copyright”

BrianHenryIE :

Probably get exponentially harder as you get further into the book

chrisreich57 :

Bruce Van Deventer :

Greg Cebuliak :

What in the absolute heck? This has crossed my mind too many times. How and when did we adopt Arabic number system, why does it work the way it does, etc. now I have a date.

williamlewis26 :

Would you tell this story to Rebecca Romney , a rare book dealer ?

Glen :

oh wow, Europe switched over that late? Does explain why roman numerals are still the standard for monarchs though

How does one acquire an eternally curious companion unit of the female designation?

I read the beginning bc I work on medieval North Africa ! He mentioned that he studied in North Africa as a child bc his father was a consul in the merchants caravanserai there. I wish he said more about his education. Also, those descriptions of how to do arithmetic/place value system are reflections of ones from Arabic texts
