Is zero a number?
Zero is nothing. How can nothing be a number.
And what of negative values? If 1 is the first number, then surely -1 can be catagorised the same way.
Perhaps there is no first number, it is the infinate -'ve number.
But, although I have said all that, zero has to be the first number (not talking by when it was invented, but by numerical series) and the positive and negative numbers can be branched off from zero. Zero is the ONLY number that is neither positive or negative.

The frist number imho is got to be 1 as 0 is not a number. 0 mean no units in basic maths !

zero
it is also a revolutionary mathematical concept, it draws the line between the positive and negative and well as being an expression for multiples of 10 (see there it is again) eg 100,200,1000, 1,000,000 ....and no binary without zero either.

Historically = 1.....
The Muslim scholars 'invented' 0 along time after the other arabic numbers we use today.
