Arabic numerals: Theory of “وهدَفي حسابْ”: My goal is to calculate
As the author of the book "Arabic Theory of 'My Goal is to Calculate' (وهدَفي حسابْ)", I present a comprehensive analysis of the origin, significance, and evolution of Arabic numerals. The theory proposed in this book revolves around the motto "وهدَفي حسابْ" (translated as "My goal is to calculate"), which encapsulates the essence of Arabic numerals.
In this book, I delve into the historical and cultural context of Arabic numerals, highlighting their Arabic nature. I argue that the forms of Arabic numerals are derived from the letters of the Arabic alphabet, making them inherently Arabic. I emphasize the Maghrebi origin of these numerals, crediting their creation to a Moroccan scholar. The usage of Arabic numerals originated in Morocco and has persisted throughout history.
Furthermore, the book explores the relationship between Arabic numerals and the "Ghubariya" method of calculation. This method encompasses various mathematical operations such as addition, multiplication, subtraction, division, and fractions. The discovery of Arabic numerals coincided with the development of this calculation method, further solidifying their significance.
The main objective of the book is to dispel misconceptions surrounding Arabic numerals and establish their authenticity as an Arabic invention in 792 CE. By addressing common misconceptions and examining historical evidence, I present a coherent and compelling argument for the Arabic origin of these numerals.
In conclusion, "Arabic Theory of 'My Goal is to Calculate'" offers an in-depth exploration of the history, cultural context, and significance of Arabic numerals. This book provides valuable insights into the development of these numerals and their inseparable connection to the Ghubariya method of calculation, ultimately affirming their Arabic identity.

"Arabic Numerals: Theory of 'وهدَفي حسابْ': My goal is to calculate" is a captivating and enlightening book that delves into the fascinating world of Arabic numerals. As a mathematics enthusiast, I was intrigued by the title and decided to give it a read on my Kindle.
The book takes readers on a journey through the history, significance, and mathematical principles behind Arabic numerals. The author's passion for the subject is evident, and their ability to convey complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner is commendable. Whether you're a mathematics student, a history buff, or simply curious about the origins of our numerical system, this book offers valuable insights.
One aspect I particularly appreciated was the inclusion of historical context. The author skillfully weaves together the development of Arabic numerals with the rise of the Islamic civilization and their contributions to mathematics. It not only enhances the understanding of the subject matter but also provides a broader cultural perspective.
The Kindle edition of the book was a pleasure to read. The text was well-formatted, and the illustrations and examples were crisp and easy to follow. The convenience of having it on my Kindle allowed me to highlight important passages and bookmark key references for future reference.
While the book primarily focuses on the theoretical aspects of Arabic numerals, I would have loved to see more practical applications or exercises to further deepen my understanding. Nevertheless, the author's explanations and insights were comprehensive enough to satisfy my curiosity.
Overall, "Arabic Numerals: Theory of 'وهدَفي حسابْ': My goal is to calculate" is a valuable addition to anyone's library, particularly for those interested in the historical and mathematical foundations of our numeral system. It sheds light on a crucial aspect of our everyday lives that we often take for granted. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Arabic numerals and their profound impact on our world.

الأرقام العربية: نظرية 'وهدَفي حسابْ' هو كتاب مشوق ومثير للاهتمام يستكشف عالم الأرقام العربية. كهاوٍ للرياضيات، كان العنوان مثيرا للفضول وقررت أن أقرأه على جهاز الكيندل الخاص بي.
يأخذ الكتاب القراء في رحلة عبر التاريخ والأهمية والمبادئ الرياضية الكامنة وراء الأرقام العربية. إن شغف المؤلف بالموضوع واضح، وقدرته على نقل المفاهيم المعقدة بطريقة واضحة وسهلة التفهم ممتازة. سواء كنت طالبًا في الرياضيات، أو مهتمًا بالتاريخ، أو مجرد فضولي حول أصول نظامنا العددي، يقدم هذا الكتاب رؤى قيمة.
أحد الجوانب التي أقدرها بشدة هي تضمين السياق التاريخي. ينسج المؤلف بمهارة تطور الأرقام العربية مع صعود الحضارة الإسلامية ومساهماتها في مجال الرياضيات. هذا ليس فقط يعزز فهم الموضوع، بل يوفر أيضًا منظورًا ثقافيًا أوسع.
كانت نسخة الكيندل من الكتاب ممتعة للقراءة. تم تنسيق النص بشكل جيد، وكانت الرسومات والأمثلة واضحة وسهلة المتابعة. سهولة وجودها على جهاز الكيندل أتاحت لي تمييز المقاطع المهمة ووضع إشارات مرجعية للمراجع الرئيسية للاستفادة منها في المستقبل.
بينما يركز الكتاب بشكل أساسي على الجوانب النظرية للأرقام العربية، كنت أتمنى أن يكون هناك بعض الأمثلة العملية وتطبيقات عملية للأرقام العربية. على الرغم من ذلك، فإن المحتوى المقدم لا يزال ذا قيمة كبيرة ومفيد لفهم أساسيات الأرقام العربية.
في الختام، أنصح بشدة بكتاب "الأرقام العربية: نظرية 'وهدَفي حسابْ': هدفي هو الحساب" للأشخاص الذين يهتمون بالرياضيات والتاريخ والثقافة. إنه كتاب يمنحك نظرة شاملة وشيقة عن الأرقام العربية ودورها في تطور الحضارة الإنسانية.
