Florian Cajori (1859‒1930) was an eminent Swiss-American mathematician who wrote several books on the history of Mathematics. He is considered the founding father of the History of Mathematics as an academic discipline. Indeed he was the first to be appointed as professor in History of Mathematics at the University of Berkeley, California, which was the first chair on this subject created in the United States. His History of Mathematical Notations has been described as "unsurpassed". He held the chair in Berkeley until his death and is still one of the most cited and quoted historians of mathematics of all time.

This book is a cross-cultural reference volume of all attested numerical notation systems, encompassing more than 100 such systems used over the past 5,500 years. Using a typology that defies unilinear evolutionary models, Stephen Chrisomalis identifies five basic types of numerical notation systems, tracks relationships between systems, and creates a general model of change that incorporates social, historical, and cognitive factors.
