Maya mathematics

The video tutorial explores the Myer numbering system, which is based on 20, unlike the modern system based on 10. The Myer system uses dots and bars for counting, with dots representing numbers 1 to 4 and bars representing 5. The tutorial explains how numbers are constructed using this method, including the representation of higher numbers and the complexity involved. The historical context of the Myer system is also discussed, highlighting the contributions of Samuel Reffin Esque.
