Muhammed ibn Ahmed al-Khwarizmi, an Arabic scholar in 976, gave the first written account of the concept of zero as a placeholder for powers of 10. It was called sifr meaning "empty." We used a derivation of this word in our word, "zero."

Most societies developed a concept for zero before conceptualizing negative numbers.
