    1428, 1929, and 5768. Why will these numbers have an equivalence next year?

    Question #89871. Asked by nibbles0011. (Dec 14 07 10:38 AM)

    Jewish year 5768 has already started. It will be the Muslim year 1428 I believe, and I'm guessing the Chinese year 1929 (but I could be wrong about that).

    January 1 is year 2008 according to the Gregorian calendar, but falls in year 5768 according to the Jewish calendar and in year 1428 according to the Islamic calendar.

    Oh, yes...and 1929 is Hindu (Shaka Samvat)

    Normal arithmetic counts from negative numbers through zero to positive numbers, e.g. -2, -1, 0, -1, =2, etc. But for some reason years from BC through to AD do not have a zero year. It goes 2BC. 1BC, 1AD, 2AD, etc. Why is this? Was the inventor of the AD system simply a bad mathematician?
