The concept of zero as a number emerged in ancient India around the 5th century CE. It was initially represented as a dot and later developed into the symbol we recognize today. The use of zero spread to the Islamic world and then to Europe, significantly influencing mathematics and science. Its adoption was crucial for the development of modern arithmetic and calculus.
