The book under review is the second book a series devoted to the history of mathematics. This volume is devoted to the history and development of numerals, counting and arithmetics of the ancient civilizations. It starts with the review of these concepts in Mezopotamian civilizations with special emphasis on what Babylonians had contributed to counting and numerals. It continues with a similarly detailed account of contributions to arithmetics and numerals by the Ionians, Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Greeks, Romans and others. The book ends with a lengthy section on the origins of numerals in the Hindu, Arabic and Mayan world. There are lots of repetitions and misprints. For Vol. 1 see Zbl 1025.01001.
