BAZINGA BLOG ONE : ZERO IN MATHS
The number 0 (zero) changed so much in mathematics. It appeared as a blessing and hope like you get something from nothing. Zero means nothing that is an absence of other values.It plays a central role in mathematics as the identity element of the integers, real numbers, and many other algebraic structure. The invention of Zero brought massive change and ease in mathematics.
About the discovery and invention of Zero, as in sources, different types of symbols were mentioned as Zero in ancient time. From Maayan to Euclids, the number zero was indicated as dot symbol or blank. Aryabhatta made aware that there exist a number zero . Today we use symbol '0' as zero. The word zero comes through the Arabic literal translation of the sanskrit śūnya ( शून्य ), meaning voidor empty, vacant.The rules governing the use of zero appeared for the first time in the book Brahmasputha Siddhanta written in 628 by Brahmagupta (598-670).
Now the horror part about zero. Imagine a math without zero. World without zero. That will be like a world without algebra, arithmetic, decimal, account, physical quantity, boundary between negative and positive. Not so horrible? No zero means a world without computers! Zero is a hero. yeahhhh!!!
