The Long Wait for Zero

Merchants and astronomers had long used a symbol for an empty place in a number, but treating zero as a number in its own right, one that can be added, subtracted, and multiplied, came later. Indian mathematicians set out rules for it by the seventh century, and Arabic-speaking scholars carried the idea westward.

Europe took it up slowly. Roman numerals had no zero, and clerks trusted them. Some officials even feared the new numerals, because a figure such as 0 could be turned into a 6 or a 9 by a dishonest hand, and some cities briefly restricted their use in account books.

Over the following centuries, the advantages became too large to ignore. Written calculation with the new numerals was faster than with counting boards, and place value made large numbers easy to record. Zero did not conquer Europe overnight; it won ground as traders found it useful.
