Abstract
During the period 500 B.C. to 600 A.D., at a time when the rest of the world was, arithmetically speaking, in the dark ages, the Mayas of Central America built many buildings, temples, and courts that required considerable knowledge of mathematics. They developed a vigesimal system (base 20) of numbers with positional notation and a special symbol for zero. They wrote and used numbers as great as 12,489,781 and developed an intricate calendar that ran, never missing a day, for 2,148 years.
