Part A
1. A research on the history of roman numerals

The Roman numeral system for representing numbers was developed around 500 B.C. As the
Romans conquered much of the world that was known to them, their numeral system spread
throughout Europe, where Roman numerals remained the primary manner for representing
numbers for centuries. Around A.D. 1300, Roman numerals were replaced throughout most
of Europe with the more effective Hindu-Arabic system still used today. A numeral is any
symbol used to represent a number. In the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, the numeral 3
represents the number three. When the numeral 3 is held in place by one or more zeros, the
value increases by an order of magnitude, e.g., 30, 300, 3000, and so on. In the Roman
numeral system, numerals are represented by various letters. The basic numerals used by the
Romans are: I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1000. These numerals can
be strung together, in which case they would be added together in order to represent larger
numbers. For example, the number 72 would be represented as LXXII (L + X + X + I + I, or
50 + 10 + 10 + 1 + 1 in Arabic numbers).
