read what the guy was asking for.....nationality doesnt matter here. Furthermore I dont think anyone who is living can take credit for anything that people dead invented, coined or discovered. I was just answering a question.
In life, there are no stupid questions.
just inquisitive idiots.
p.s.
As per sources, the first mathematics to use the number ''zero'' were based in the Indus valley which is in today's Pakistan.
The concept of zero as a number and not merely a symbol for separation is attributed to India where by the 9th century AD practical calculations were carried out using zero, which was treated like any other number, even in case of division.[10][11] The Indian scholar Pingala (circa 5th-2nd century BC) used binary numbers in the form of short and long syllables (the latter equal in length to two short syllables), making it similar to Morse code.[12][13] He and his contemporary Indian scholars used the Sanskrit word śūnya to refer to zero or void.
The concept of Zero was formed in southern and central India, no where near the Indus Valley civilization, please check your facts.
