Answer 1

Though 'poojyam' (Samskrüt term) was used in India to denote
the zero, as early as 1700 B.C. (which was promptly picked-up by the mathematicians of Babylonia), it was only Bháskara, a Hindu mathematician also of India, who gave its present 'o' form - signifying an empty hole ! - in the 7th century A.D. !

Answer 2

The number 0 was both invented and discovered at different times. Discovered as in treated as a real number. Invented as in used as place holders in numbers such as 10, 500 or 80000. Greeks used a dot instead of a 0 when writing such numbers, because they didn'y know what to do with the empty space. However, the concept of 0 as a number was discovered indepently by many civilizations. India was the first. Mayans also had the concept of 0.

Answer 3

The concept of zero is surprisingly deep, and it took human thinkers
quite a long time to come up with the notion of zero. In fact, though
mathematicians began thinking about the concept of zero in 2000-1800
B.C.E., it was not until about 200-300 B.C.E. that the Babylonians
began using a symbol that would evolve into what we today know as zero.

It turns out that mathematicians first thought of zero in the context
of writing numbers down - zero was first a placeholder. Before
mathematicians understood the notion of zero, there was much ambiguity
about written numbers. For instance, if the symbol for 5 was written
down, there was no way to tell distinguish among 5, 50, and 5,000,000.
Zero was introduced as a placeholder to avoid these ambiguities.

In India, the concepts of 0 as a placeholder and 0 as a number were
associated with one another much earlier than in Babylon. It is from
the Indians that we get our present-day symbol for 0.

When europe was under control of the roman empire they largely used roman numerals Spain had been under arab influence for centuries used syrian numbers system The big advantage was not only was it much easier to write any number above 1 but it also had a zero. Which the romans could'nt write
