who invented maths and zero?

Answer 1

Greeks invented zero. That is basically the start of modern math.

Answer 2

History of Mathematics
Before the modern age and the worldwide spread of knowledge, written examples of new mathematical developments have come to light only in a few locales. The most ancient mathematical texts available are Plimpton 322 (Babylonian mathematics ca. 1900 BC), the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian mathematics ca. 1850 BC), the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian mathematics ca. 1650 BC), and the Shulba Sutras (Indian mathematics ca. 800 BC). All of these texts concern the so-called Pythagorean theorem, which seems to be the most ancient and widespread mathematical development after basic arithmetic and geometry.

History of Zero
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. By 300 BC a punctuation symbol (two slanted wedges) was co-opted as a placeholder in the same Babylonian system. In a tablet unearthed at Kish (dating from perhaps as far back as 700 BC), the scribe Bêl-bân-aplu wrote his zeroes with three hooks, rather than two slanted wedges.

The Babylonian placeholder was not a true zero because it was not used alone. Nor was it used at the end of a number. Thus numbers like 2 and 120 (2×60), 3 and 180 (3×60), 4 and 240 (4×60), et al., looked the same because the larger numbers lacked a final sexagesimal placeholder. Only context could differentiate them.

Answer 3

The oldest texts regarding mathematics are the Plimpton 322 exhibit, which consist of a set of clay tablets found in Babylon (modern-day Iraq). Mathematics no doubt predates these tablets, dated at 1900 BC, though no physical textx have been recovered from any earlier time.

As far as the zero, credit goes to Babylon (modern-day Iraq), as the Kish tablets (dated around 700 BC) are shown to use notation to denote an object of possitional value. Beyond that, the Arab and Greek mathematicians modified and elaborated on the properties of the zero, giving us the modern interpretation of the number with no value... =)

Either way, I guess we can thank the Babylonians for yet another wonder that allowed us to become the modern humans that we are today...

Answer 4

The Mayans were one of the first to use zero as well as the Hindus. The Babylonians use it as well but had no symbol to represent its non-value.

Answer 5

you cant invent 0.. its just a concept that any normal person could think of

math has always existed, thus maths is god

Answer 6

math was probably invented by someone that was trading something.
0 was first used by maya and india.

Answer 7

Arabs invented zero...
