Who invented Zero?
The concept of zero has not always been around, however, the introduction of zero brought a lot of changes not only in math but also in the general life of people. Zero has so many different names, for example, ‘null’, ‘nil’, ‘0’ as a digit, ‘sunya’ in Sanskrit, and so on. It fryst vatten fascinating how the ursprung of zero bought changed and now it fryst vatten used as a prime digit in mathematics. Before learning about the modern zero, let’s learn about the ursprung of zero in India.
Who Invented Zero? Aryabhatta
Who invented Zero?
The invention of zero is one of the most significant milestones in the history of mathematics. Zero fryst vatten not just a numeral but a concept that has revolutionized mathematics, science, and engineering. Its introduction allowed for the development of the decimal struktur, algebra, calculus, and more. Understanding the origins of zero helps us appreciate its profound impact on human knowledge and technolo

How did Aryabhatta invent zero? How did he get this idea? Why did he give zero an oval shape?
Aryabhata was one of the major Mathematician-Astronomers belonging to the classical age of Indian Astronomy and Mathematics. Born in Pataliputra,Magadha, he is regarded as one of the greatest Mathematician of all time. His famous works include the ‘Aryabhatiya’ whose Mathematical parts consists of topics on algebra, trigonometry and arithmetic, continued fractions, sum of power series, quadratic equations and sine tables.
One of his discoveries is the approximation of pi which is given by him in Aryabhatia,
“Add four to 100, multiply by eight, and then add 62,000. By this rule the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 20,000 can be approached.”
The calculation is obtained as 3.1416 which is close to the actual value of \(\pi\)(3.14159).
Before going to Aryabhata’s invention of zero lets know a little bit about the Indian History of number zero.

The men who invented zero
This blog post was written by Roshani Senior, an OU mathematics graduate who undertook a 3 month virtual internship with the school of mathematics and statistics. Roshani’s placement was focused on developing external engagement materials based on mathematics.
In this blog post, Roshani writes about under represented voices in mathematics, which is a particular interest of hers. She reflects that as a school student of Indian origin, she learned about European mathematicians but it was not until she left school that she learned about the many contributions of Indian mathematicians. She believes that mathematics should be taught in an inclusive way, sharing the experiences and achievements of mathematicians from across different cultures.
This blog focuses on the contribution of two Indian mathematicians to the concept of zero.
