Invention Of Zero

Who Invented Zero?

When Was Zero Invented?

Zero was invented in India by Indian mathematicians dating as early as 5th century. They widely used it in calculations, astronomy and astrology. Zero was spread by Arabians to Europe and there on it was spread all over to Asia and China and Russia, Australia, Canada, Florida, Boston and everywhere to include the coldest city on Earth.

Before this, all Europeans used roman numerical which were difficult to calculate on as they were in the form of Symbols, lengthy and had limits. (Data from the book “the calender” by D. E. Duncan).  Dr. Wassenaar:

The nr. zero was invented independently in India and by the Maya. In India a decimal system was used, like ours, but they used an empty space for zero up to 3rd Century BC. This was confusing for an empty space was also used to separate numbers, and so they invented the dot for a zero. The first evidence for the use of the symbol that we now know as zero stems from the 7th century AD. The Maya invented the number zero for their calendars in the 3rd century AD. The number zero reached European civilisation through the Arabs after 800 AD. The Greek and Roman did not need the number zero for they did their calculations on an abacus. The name ‘zero’ comes from the arabic ‘sifr’.

While it might appear strange to use Roman numerals when numbers can be used, understanding how to use them can be convenient. Roman numerals can’t be negative and there is absolutely no roman numeral zero. They can also be rounded. They have been around for a long time. Although they are no longer a necessary component of mathematics, they are an important part of the history of the development of Western civilization. Also, they are often used to represent years, and you’ll find a Roman numeral year chart that serves as a reference for years in the recent past or near future.

On account of the additive and subtractive properties of Roman numerals an excess step is needed on the way. It’s simple enough to get a good example of a Roman numerals chart online, but hardly any are setup for printing. Enter either an Arabic or a Roman numeral and it is going to be converted in the other.
