A significant example of the interaction among Indian, Arab, and European societies by 1200 C. E. was the transfer of knowledge of Numerals and The Decimal System

Explanation:

The decimal system used today is invented by Sumerians or Babylonians and developed by the Hindus. Aryabhatta is the father of decimal number system. The decimal numeral system is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. The way of denoting numbers in the decimal system is often referred to as decimal notation. A writing method for expressing numbers is called a "numeral system". In the most common numeral system, we write numbers with combinations of 10 symbols {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}. These symbols are called digits, and numbers that are expressed using 10 digits are called "decimal" or "base-10" numbers. We use decimals every day, while dealing with money, weight, length etc. Decimal numbers are used in situations where more precision is required, than the whole numbers can provide.
