Where did zero come from?

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:16,320
Let's find out. An Indian mathematician first used this concept to create the idea of zero around 600 AD

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,760
The Mayans also made use of the zero

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:25,880
What's so special about zero? A zero lets mathematicians represent really big numbers with just a few symbols

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,880
Think of the difference between 25 and

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,840
25,000 zeros also let mathematicians invent negative numbers by extending the number line

8
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,920
It has special rules in mathematics when you add zero to something. It's the same number

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,080
But what happens when you multiply something by zero? I'm not sure

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,200
I think the rule is that when you multiply something by zero

11
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:54,840
You get zero. I knew you know your math to learn more about zero visit our website until next time
