    13 Million Pseudoscience Numerology Greek Mathematics

    Numbers have cultural significance beyond their practical uses, with certain numbers like 13 viewed as unlucky in Western society. Though now seen as pseudoscience, numerology and the mystical meanings of numbers were historically important in ancient and medieval thought, influencing early Greek mathematics. In the 19th century, mathematicians began developing abstract concepts that generalized the properties of numbers, such as hypercomplex numbers extending the complex number system, with number systems now viewed as specific examples of more general algebraic structures like rings.

    Besides their practical uses, numbers have cultural significance throughout the

    world.[7][8] For example, in Western society, the number 13 is regarded as

    as pseudoscience, numerology, the belief in a mystical significance of numbers,
    permeated ancient and medieval thought.[9] Numerology heavily influenced
    the development of Greek mathematics, stimulating the investigation of many
    problems in number theory which are still of interest today.[9]

    During the 19th century, mathematicians began to develop many different


    abstractions which share certain properties of numbers and may be seen as
    extending the concept. Among the first were the hypercomplex numbers,
    which consist of various extensions or modifications of the complex number
    system. Today, number systems are considered important special examples of
    much more general categories such as rings and
