INTERESTING FACT
Invention Of Zero
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 the Europe and there on it was spread all over. 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.

PREVIEW YOUR COMMENT:
that is soooo cool
This information is false, zero was invented by the mayans. You can search for it in a mexican history book.
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'.

the mayans did invent zero. where the hell did this come from??
why is zero divided by zero is a mathematical error?
datz wicked!!
so basically who invented the zero? The Mayans or the Indians???
Mayans discovered zero and indians to.
But they never met each other and when the spanish come to America with indian zero, mayas were already dissapeared.
"...zero was invented by the mayans. You can search for it in a mexican history book."
Priceless. I'm the world's strongest and sexiest man, if you don't believe me, just ask me.
you guys rock and so does your website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!love me
Tommo bravo!!!!!!!
The zero came to the mayans during one of the many trips that the Chinese made to the Americas. This accounts for various surges in technology, customs, or wildlife.
Use of Zero is seen in Rig Vedas from India even before 3100 BCE. But formal usage of Zero again started from India from 3AD in mathematical and astronomical calculation
we are a bunch of zeros wasting time here
Umm. Actually this video is false too. You see, for some reason 21X13 is the only way you can make it work with that method.
Any other numbers, following that method will come out incorrect. I tried myself
India rocks. And India invented zero.
To answer marife's question, dividing zero by zero only comes up as an error on you calculator but is not actually a mathematical error, it is just undifined which means that it is possible but the result just hasnt been found/proved yet.
Zero as a place holder and used to represent groups of ten was invented in India. That is the zero we know today. Zero that was used to build the Great Pyrimids was a linear starting point in geometry. I argue that Zero has always been around. It's properties have just evolved.
Indian's invented ZERO because they were sick of paying high prices... we wanted things for FREE and so we invented ZERO. LOL
i just wanted to know that person who invented zero ... saala khud too upar bhag gaya aur hamko zero ke saath chodh gaya ....
Aryabhat is the guys name who invented it...
Oye! End it. Don't fight for zero, the guy who invented the zero is no more and you are fighting for 'zeeeero'.
zero in sanskrit 'sunya' was know long before Christ. in fact in was already known at the time of Buddha, i.e. appr. 600 bce. Check your facts before you post them :)
bilcool wahyaad hai intead regular method is ok . please dont give such stuptd suggessions.if 1 will try this method he will b failed
Indians and only indians invented the zero & no one else. These mayans just got it from indian vedas.
anything divided by zero would be displayed as a mathematical error on a calculator because the answer is infinity.
grim reaper you must be doing it wrong. this method works im sure. i tried it..
cool
this is the coolest thing ever if it wasn't for them we would not have a zero and it would be 1 - 9 not 1 - 10
Sun is the symbol of zero, Moon is the symbol of zero, so leave this zero and look to this natural zero which will give u the right way of religion.That is ONLY ALLAH.
OOoo praise the Lord.
Zero was invented by Indians.. its hard for people to digest but thn its okey!
Some people will not accept the fact just the way they will argue about the mythologies.
They will never accept Indian mythology is the oldest... about 5000Bc on the timeline and will keep on arguing "no no it was egyptian no its greek no our Christian is the oldest..."
but.. watevaaaaaa!
o is always zero.o.o.o.o.oo.
Where the hell did you guys come from???
The Indian mathematician AryaBhatta invented the digit zero! And I agree with Skatha! You get your facts right!!! so Hahaha! you fo check out any Indian history book!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this fact is just going berserk into endless fusion. We might even close the commenting of this fact. Again let me help you by quoting Dr. Wassenaar:
