What is zero? A symbol, a number, or something far more profound?Zero Before the Symbol: Aryabhata and the Mathematics of Nothingness offers a rigorous re-examination of the origin of zero, shifting the focus from symbolic invention to structural emergence. Through a detailed analysis of the Aryabhatiya, the book demonstrates that Aryabhata's positional system encodes a functional notion of absence without the use of an explicit symbol. It further interprets Brahmagupta's work as t...
