Everyone has heard the term arabic numerals in math class

Yeah, no. My knowledge of that was extracurricular.

Let's also remember that they're not even arabic to begin with, it's just attributed to them because it was arab merchants that brought it our way. It's something like Indian numbers in arab areas, we don't even know the origin.
