The concept of zero as a number has roots in ancient civilizations, with its earliest recorded use in Babylon around 300 BC as a placeholder. However, the formalization of zero as a numeral and its acceptance in mathematics is often credited to Indian mathematicians around the 5th century AD, particularly with the work of Brahmagupta. The symbol we use today for zero was later transmitted to the Islamic world and then to Europe by the 10th century.
