Which groupe of people has invented the "Zero and the# 1"in the whole history?

Answer 1

Since the eight earliest Long Count dates appear outside the Maya homeland, it is assumed that the use of zero in the Americas predated the Maya and was possibly the invention of the Olmecs

Answer 2

Depends a little on what you mean by "zero." As a placeholder (like the 0s in 2006), it goes back to the Babylonians. As a number it probably goes back to India in about 458 AD. Below is an abbreviated account from Wikipedia (see source):

"By the mid 2nd millennium BC, the Babylonians had a sophisticated sexagesimal positional numeral system. The lack of a positional value (or zero) was indicated by a space between sexagesimal numerals;

Records show that the ancient Greeks seemed unsure about the status of zero as a number;

Early use of something like zero by the Indian scholar Pingala (circa 5th-2nd century BC), implied at first glance by his use of binary numbers, is only the modern binary representation using 0 and 1 applied to Pingala's binary system;

The Long Count calendar developed in south-central Mexico required the use of zero as a place-holder [in 36 BC];

By 130, Ptolemy [Greek mathematician], influenced by Hipparchus and the Babylonians, was using a symbol for zero (a small circle with a long overbar) within a sexagesimal numeral system otherwise using alphabetic Greek numerals;

The oldest known text to use zero is the Jain text from India entitled the Lokavibhaaga , dated 458 AD;

The Hindu-Arabic numeral system [including zero] reached Europe in the 11th century, via the Iberian Peninsula through Spanish Muslims the Moors."

Answer 3

the number zero was invented by the indians and the number one was invented by the arabs, though both were spread around the world by the arabs.
P.S: im absolutely sure of this fact.

Answer 4

Most historians agree that both concepts originate with the mathematicians in Arabia, where science and medicine flourished for many, many centuries.
