Aryabhatta, the great philosopher and mathematician of ancient India.
Well, most people in India would know that.
But from the way that Aryabhatta used the concept of zero, it seemed that many more people before him also knew about the concept of zero, though, he was the one to use it proficiently in his works.
That is why, most people credit Aryabhatta with the invention of zero.

Aryabhatta
The 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).
ASIDE 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.

... it is extremely likely that Aryabhata knew the sign for zero and the numerals of the place value system. This supposition is based on the following two facts: first, the invention of his alphabetical counting system would have been impossible without zero or the place-value system; secondly, he carries out calculations on square and cubic roots which are impossible if the numbers in question are not written according to the place-value system and zero

It is surprising that west did not know "zero" till 13 century, which was discovered by Aryabhatt in India. U know that "Infinity" another important concept was also discovered in ancient India.

Yes, this name should be broad casted over the whole world. We know too may European names as inventors. Let's have some Asian/ African ones for a change
