Did you know the numerical system is based in the Arab Culture. Around the 5th century CE, Indian mathematicians introduced zero as a numerical value, calling it "shunya," meaning void or empty. This groundbreaking concept laid the foundation for our modern numeral system. The Arabs later adapted zero, calling it "sifr," and integrated it into their decimal system, advancing algebra and trigonometry. Al-Khwarizmi, the founder of algebra, used these innovations to develop accurate methods for land division and inheritance laws, significantly influencing mathematical progress and scientific development.
