After recently pondering the elegant subtleties of zero, the notion that “the existence of nothing is required to define something”, I was reminded of one of the most pivotal figures in mathematical history: Brahmagupta, the 7th-century Indian mathematician who revolutionized math by fully developing zero as a number. While many have heard that “Arab mathematicians
