British Arthur Macdonell:

"During the eighth and ninth centuries, the Indians became the teachers in arithmetic and algebra of the Arabs, and through them of the nations of the west. Thus, though we call the latter science by an Arabic name, it is a gift we OWE to India."

"In  Science,  too,  the  debt  of  Europe  to  India  has  been  considerable.  There  is,  in  the  first  place,  the  great  fact  that  the  Indians  invented  the  numerical  figures  used  all  over  the  world."
