Adam Ries (17 January 1492 – 30 March 1559) was a German mathematician. He is also known by the name Adam Riese.[1] He is known as the "father of modern calculating" because of his decisive contribution to the recognition that Roman numerals are unpractical and to their replacement by the considerably more practical Arabic numerals.[2]
