Their numerical system is similar to that of the Romans, but instead of Xâs and Iâs they use dots, bars and shells. Each dot has the value of one, each bar the value of five, and each shell the value of zero. This brings us to the main mathematical contribution of the Mayans, the concept of zero.
In fact, the number twenty was very important to the Maya, so much so that the words for âhuman beingâ and âtwentyâ share the same root in most Mayan languages. The Maya wrote their numbers from top to bottom rather than from left to right, but apart from that, their system was not so different from ours. For example, to write the number 34, we place a three in the tens column and a four in the ones column. The Maya put a one in the twenties column and a fourteen in the ones column. Adding and subtracting in the Maya system is simply a matter of juggling the dots and bars. To calculate 36 + 13, for example, you start by adding the units (i.e., 16 + 13). This gives you 29, so you leave 9 in the ones column and carry the 20 up, giving you a grand total of 2 twenties and 9 ones = 49.
