A REVIEW ON THE NUMERICAL AND THE MEASURING SYSTEM OF THE INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION

Abstract

As empirical measurements focused on numerical values in most developmental stages, the Indus valley civilization was the most ancient advanced civilization. The Indus Valley human progress was a Bronze Age development in the northwestern locales of South Asia, enduring from 3300 BC to 1300 BC, and developed between 2600 BC to 1900 BC.Alongside antiquated Egypt and Mesopotamia, it was one of three early developments of the locale involving North Africa, West Asia and South Asia.In measuring length, mass, and time, the people of the Indus civilization have achieved great accuracy. They were among the first to establish a system of weights and measures that were standardized. Indian numerals were driven from 1 to 13 by the of Indus valley civilization. Ancient mathematics was used for practical purposes in calculation of weights and distances, scaling, fixed proportion adopted to urban structures, architectures, metallurgy etc. in many developmental planning of Indus civilization.
