Explanation of name

[edit]

There is some oddly-worded explanatory text at the start because many readers would guess this is a school that teaches how to use an Abacus. I thought it worked better placed after the intro paragraph, but this got reverted.

I also tried to fix the "Hindu numerals" as at that time they were barely using such notation and also because the common name is "Arabic" or "Hindu-Arabic" numerals. Way too many people think "Hindu numerals" are the older forms used in India. It seemed best to not use any term at all. Spitzak (talk) 17:17, 21 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
