The document discusses the origins and logic behind Arabic numerals. It explains that the numbers 1-9 represent the number of angles in their primitive written forms. For example, 1 is written with one angle and 2 is written with two angles. This reveals that the names "one", "two", etc. are derived from the number of angles used to write each numeral in its original Arabic form. The document also notes that Arabic numerals were developed by Phoenician merchants and later popularized by Arabs for counting and accounting.
