Zero in Mathematics Zero as a number is incredibly tricky to deal with. Though zero provides us with some useful mathematical tools‚ such as calculus‚ it presents some problems that if approached incorrectly‚ lead to a breakdown of mathematics as we know it. Adding‚ subtracting and multiplying by zero are straightforward. If c is a real number‚ c+0=c c-0=c c x 0=0 These facts are widely known and regarded to hold true in every situation. However‚ division by zero is a far more complicated

Zero is a number and a digit used in mathematics to represent that number in numerals. Zero is not a natural number but it is the smallest whole number. There are two important uses of zero. Firstly‚ in place value number system it is used as empty place indicator. Hence‚ in this number‚ 5102‚ the positions of 5 and one are correct just because of the inclusion of zero. Five is denoting a thousandth place value. Similarly if we omit zero from 5102 that is 512‚ then 5 denote a hundredth place value

[edit] Mathematics [edit] Pi as irrational Aryabhata worked on the approximation for Pi (π)‚ and may have come to the conclusion that π is irrational. In the second part of the Aryabhatiyam (gaṇitapāda 10)‚ he writes: caturadhikam śatamaṣṭaguṇam dvāṣaṣṭistathā sahasrāṇām ayutadvayaviṣkambhasyāsanno vṛttapariṇāhaḥ.
