People speak hundreds of languages in India and many have their own terms for "zero"\n\nIn Sanskrit/Hindi it is spoken at "SHOONYA"\n\nCheck http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_%28number%29 for more interesting information.

It isn't.  Zero divided by zero is a non-defined number.

The ancient Indians first completely discovered the "0". They were the ones to settle in the Indus River Valley (You know, the whole Aryan story). However, the Babylonians left a space in their numeral system where 0 was, and the Greeks seemed to have some understanding of it, but thought "How can nothing be something."\n\nNOTE: Brahmagupta first used the zero in his work in A.D. 628. In case you were wondering, he was from the ancient Indian civilization.

The other historical answers here are very good, but I would like to add a small footnote...\n\nThe Hindu numerals, and hence the concept of zero, were introduced to medieval Europe early in the 13th century by Leonardo Fibonacci. Within a remarkably short time this numbering system became the foundation of western science, engineering, finance, and commerce. As Europeans began to conquer the world (generally not a beneficial thing), they spread western math, including the concept of zero, around the world (generally a beneficial thing).\n\nASIDE TO robert: a=b so a-b = 0. Therefore your fifth step is invalid, as it requires dividing by zero, which is a major no-no.

current thought approximate its origin to India circa 1500 B.C. by a well known mathematician named Aryabhata. \n\nthe invention of zero is an important development in human abstract thought because the counting system was initially created to "count" things and not "nothing".  \n\ni am pretty sure it was also concieved independently by other cultures as well but written and archeological evidence at present best support the India origin.\n\ncheck wikipedia for "zero".

Namaste is Hindi.  It means "hello".  I'm not sure what the other means.

The system of numbering we use was developed by mathematicians in India. By trade and cultural diffusion it made its way to the Arab world, and thence to Europe. Hence, "Hindu-Arabic numerals." \n\nBut there is reason to believe the ancient Babylonians had something like that too, earlier than the Hindus. They had a symbol for a zero, an absolute necessity for this system. Their system was based on twenties and sixties, rather than ten.

In the number system zero is considered to be neither positive  nor negative.So if you speak of  negtive zero,it is simply a non-existing thing.And you can always fit into it not only thre beauties but also hundreds of uglies and thousands of idiots.

a number with 100 zeroes after 1 may be called  GOOGOL \nGOOGOPLEX has googol zeroes after 1\nthe internet explorer GOOGLE is named after it\nbetter don't create an other "ol"

It's an expression (i.e. not an equation (no equal sign).\n\nIf it was an equation that equaled zero:\n\nt^0 equals 1 so that quantity equals 2.\n\n18t^2-3=0\n\nt = +or- 1/sqrt(6)

Once upon a time there was no zero. Of course people knew if they had nothing, but there was no mathematical notation for it. Zero was independently invented only three times.\n\nThe first recorded zero is attributed to the Babylonians in the 3rd century BC. A long period followed when no one else used a zero place holder. But then the Mayans, halfway around the world in Central America, independently invented zero in the fourth century CE. The final independent invention of zero in India was long debated by scholars, but seems to be set around the middle of the fifth century. It spread to Cambodia around the end of the 7th century. From India it moved into China and then to the Islamic countries. Zero finally reached western Europe in the 12th century.

The Arabs ... except for the 0 which was invented in India

'Shunya' in sanskrit is 'nothing' or 'hallow' and carries no value. The word was borrowed into early Indian mathematics by the great mathematician Aryabhatta, to represent something with no value ot nothing. The tourists & invadors of Indian subcontinent learnt and subsequently made it popular in other parts of the globe.

VERY GOOD Question!!!\nI don't know, but i never thought abou it either.\n\nwell if you only need to write 0 i guess you don't write anything. and for like 10 you just write an x so i guess there is not a zero because you don't really need it.\n\ni hope i was help!
