Answer 3

The late Olmec people of south-central Mexico began to use a zero digit (a shell glyph) in the New World possibly by the 4th century BC but certainly by 40 BC, within a vigesimal (base-20) positional numeral system. It became an integral part of Maya numerals, but did not influence Old World numeral systems.

Answer 4

Etymology
The word zero comes ultimately from the Arabic á¹£ifr (صفر) meaning empty or vacant, a literal translation of the Sanskrit śūnya meaning void or empty. Through transliteration this became zephyr or zephyrus in Latin. The word zephyrus already meant "west wind" in Latin; the proper noun Zephyrus was the Roman god of the west wind (after the Greek god Zephyros). With its new use for the concept of zero, zephyr came to mean a light breeze—"an almost nothing."[1] The word zephyr survives with this meaning in English today. The Italian mathematician Fibonacci (c.1170-1250), who grew up in Arab North Africa and is credited with introducing the Hindu decimal system to Europe, used the term zephyrum. This became zefiro in Italian, which was contracted to zero in the Venetian dialect, giving the modern English word.
