when we think about when "0" started ?,who named it ? where it come from ?
ok lets google it !
who discovered "zero"
almost every site says it was "Aryabahata"
who is he ? the 1st of the Major mathematician - Astronomers of classic age of indian mathematics and astronomy.
he was known for his explicit mention of the relativity of motion.
well does Google knows the date ?
yes ! it was around 458 AD
okeyyy now got it.
But .... what if say that's completely wrong and there is NO evidence of ZERO !
Do u know EUCLID ? yes ! we all know him as we learned he is father of Geometry.
325-265.BC
if ZERO is discovered at 458 AD then how come EUCLID use zero for his geometry ?
come on keep questions aside lets make some notes on history of zero, lets crack the craziness of this theory.
You know ? aryabatha never claimed that he discovered zero and also no one has a exact proof of the invention, but every one knows it came from south-east Asian country and thats Definitely from INDIA.
you might get a clumsy things in your mind, if not Aryabahata, then who ? ?
The first evidence we have of zero is from the Sumerian culture in Mesopotamia, some 5,000 years ago. There, a slanted double wedge was inserted between cuneiform symbols for numbers, written positionally, to indicate the absence of a number in a place (as we would write 102, the '0' indicating no digit in the tens column).
TIMELINE shows the development of zero throughout the world. The first recorded zero appeared in Mesopotamia around 3 B.C. The Mayans invented it independently circa 4 A.D. It was later devised in India in the mid-fifth century, spread to Cambodia near the end of the seventh century, and into China and the Islamic countries at the end of the eighth. Zero reached western Europe in the 12th century.
The symbol changed over time as positional notation (for which zero was crucial), made its way to the Babylonian empire and from there to India, via the Greeks (in whose own culture zero made a late and only occasional appearance; the Romans had no trace of it at all). Arab merchants brought the zero they found in India to the West. After many adventures and much opposition, the symbol we use was accepted and the concept flourished, as zero took on much more than a positional meaning. Since then, it has played avital role in mathematizing the world.
The Babylonians displayed zero with two angled wedges (middle).
The Mayans used an eyelike character [top left] to denote zero.
The Chinese started writing the open circle we now use for zero.
The Hindus depicted zero as a dot.
ha ha well collected and information right ?
Now what if i say still things aren't proved yet !
some sources says
Zero was invented independently by the Babylonians, Mayans and Indians (although some researchers say the Indian number system was influenced by the Babylonians). The Babylonians got their number system from the Sumerians, the first people in the world to develop a counting system.
So Aryabahata might brought aware of ZERO to the world.
Brahmagupta
"Zero and its operation are first defined by [Hindu astronomer and mathematician] Brahmagupta in 628," said Gobets.
He developed a symbol for zero: a dot underneath numbers. "But he, too, does not claim to have invented zero, which presumably must have been around for some time," Gobets added
now what i can conclude is the theory of ZERO isn't existing in the world and the researchers has stopped arguing on it.
