who discovered "0" Digit?

Answer 1

Well something like '0' was used as early as the babylonians, as they used spaces to denote values neither negative or positive.

However the concept of '0' was first concieved by Indian (as in India) mathematicians in the Gupta Empire around the 2nd century BC.

This is credited to them and not the Greeks as they had not actually answered the question of nothing being something, but simply pondered on the subject.

Answer 2

0 (zero) is both a number and a numerical digit used to represent that number in numerals. As a number, zero means nothing — an absence of other values. It plays a central role in mathematics as the identity element of the integers, real numbers, and many other algebraic structures. As a digit, zero is used as a placeholder in place value systems. Historically, it was the last digit to be come into use. In the English language, zero may also be called nil when a number, o/oh when a numeral, and nought/naught in either context.

The word zero comes through the Arabic literal translation of the Sanskrit śūnya ( शून्य ), meaning void or empty, into (sifr) (صفر) meaning empty or vacant. 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 Venetian, giving the modern English word.As the Hindu decimal zero and its new mathematics spread from the Arab world to Europe in the Middle Ages, words derived from sifr and zephyrus came to refer to calculation, as well as to privileged knowledge and secret codes. According to Ifrah, "in thirteenth-century Paris, a 'worthless fellow' was called a... cifre en algorisme, i.e., an 'arithmetical nothing.'"[1] (Algorithm is also a borrowing from the Arabic, in this case from the name of the 9th century mathematician al-Khwarizmi.) The Arabic root gave rise to the modern French chiffre, which means digit, figure, or number; chiffrer, to calculate or compute; and chiffré, encrypted; as well as to the English word cipher. Today, the word in Arabic is still sifr, and cognates of sifr are common throughout the languages of Europe.

Answer 3

An indidian mathematician called Aryabhatta was responsible for that, thats the reason some say the contribution of Indians to mathematics is "Zero".

Answer 4

I think the Mayans (or Mayas) from Mexico were the first to prove that 0 is actually a number without value.
